Gene annotations matter for downstream analyses: different structural gene-annotation pipelines yield markedly different orthology calls. We compare four strategies across species and argue for standards & QC before inference. Work led by @silviaprietob.bsky.social. Paper: doi.org/10.1093/bioi...

Even more exciting is we find evidence for functional convergence over a macroevolutionary scale spanning 50 million years!! In mini species, growth inhibitor genes (ING2 and CDKN1B) are expressed at higher levels, while in large-bodied species the growth-factor gene TGFB3 is expressed more.
