I'm a evolutionary biologist. The main question is:
"Why and how have organisms diversified?"
My main buddy is a land snail. Keywords are speciation, adaptation, and genomics. For my publications, see my ORCID !:

New genome assembly of a land snail🐌🎉
Krishnan et al. present annotated nuclear and mitochondrial genome assemblies of Indrella ampulla, a color polymorphic land snail endemic to the Western Ghats of India. The assembly has N50 of 632 kb, and 93.5% BUSCO completeness.

Incredible color variation and density in grove snails (Cepaea nemoralis)!

Problems and progress in getting molluscan 🐌 genome assemblies, new paper out. Although the publication was much delayed, we recently redid the analysis, finding that actually not much ahs improved 😔 academic.oup.com/mollus/artic...

Molluscan genome assemblies—problems and progress
A reference genome assembly is a starting point for research (Davison & Neiman, 2021) in a wide variety of subdisciplines of biology, including mollusc

I had a wonderful meeting on molluscs. While it was the first talk in English for me, the meeting was pretty relaxed and comfortable. Cheers!

@snail-ecol-evol.bsky.social et al. assemble the first chromosome-level genome of a Helicoidea snail. Combining short and long read data, they obtained a 2.18 Gbp assembly of Bradybaena similaris, a model for shell shape evolution and invasion biology.
