Genome Biology and Evolution | March 2026 cover

Bacot et al. combined whole-genome pool-sequencing and RNA-sequencing to study insecticide resistance in the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) from La Réunion island. The map shows sampling locations in La Réunion. The heatmap indicates log-fold changes in gene expression of candidate genes over-transcribed in association with deltamethrin resistance.

🗨️ 👩🏽‍💻 Last night I read so many sensible posts on my timeline that I seriously wonder – who exactly are these delusional morons who rule our nations and want to lead everyone into the abyss of self-destruction?

Serial killers on bail? Or former class clowns with sadistic tendencies?

One can only hope that future generations will improve their ethical standards and decide to forgo political appendices altogether -

New paper from my second PostDoc is published!

Novak et al.: Sulfur disproportionation occurs globally across anoxic habitats and has multiple mechanisms of independent evolutionary origin https://academic.oup.com/ismej/advance-article/doi/10.1093/ismejo/wrag042/8503335

Some #bacteria are able to gain energy by metabolizing elemental #sulfur alone—no other chemical needed. We investigate which genes may be responsible for this unique #metabolism and speculate about its evolutionary origins.

How/Why did giraffes evolve to have a big neck like they have? My simplistic mind only thinks about eating from high places. I've been thinking about unique animals.

In the game of life and evolution there are three players at the table: human beings, nature, and machines. I am firmly on the side of nature. But nature, I suspect, is on the side of the machines.

Rare fossil goose discovery rewrites history of New Zealand bird evolution.

The discovery of a rare fossil goose in an ancient Central Otago lake shows the evolutionary history of New Zealand’s birds is far more dynamic than once thought, a University of Otago researcher says.
