Our new algorithm PHACE: Phylogeny-Aware Detection of Molecular Coevolution, by me and Ogün Adebali (@compgenomics.bsky.social), is now published in Molecular Biology and Evolution.
Many thanks to @nehircanozdemir.bsky.social for the beautiful illustration of PHACE!

A gene called NOVA1 may be part of the solution to the mystery of how our ancestors evolved language. Here's my story about mice with strange squeaks. [Gift link] nyti.ms/3XuVehN 🧪
The Gene That Made Mice Squeak Strangely (Gift Article)
A new study suggests that the NOVA1 gene may have been a key player in the evolution of human language.

NOVA1, a neuron-specific RNA binding protein & splicing factor, likely impacted language function in human evolution. Human NOVA1 is unique (vs mammals, Neanderthals), & it changes vocalization in CRISPR’d mice!
