The PopGen Vienna Seminar series schedule is ready for the next term (March-June). It's jam-packed with fantastic speakers in #evolution, #genetics, #genomics, #popgen, and more! Details and streaming link signup can be found on our website popgen-vienna.at/news/seminars/

On my trip through the Galapagos, I bumped into my old friend Charles Darwin. I knew he is still alive! We agreed that the islands are simply amazing.

I just want to throw it out again, in case people missed it. Great opportunity for female postdocs.

Last week, we announced a plan to make child care universal. Today, applications are open for pre-K & 3-K. If your child is turning 3 or 4, apply now for the fall at: myschools.nyc

Now Open: E-STEEM Postdoc Call 2026

20+ fully funded 4 year-postdoc positions for females in STEM (and Economics) at the University of Vienna.

Great work! Congratulations to the Arnone, Hinman and Maeso teams!

Deep conservation of cis-regulatory elements and chromatin organization in echinoderms uncover ancestral regulatory features of animal genomes Nature Ecology & Evolution - Analysis of the 3D chromatin architecture and cis-regulatory elements in a sea urchin and a sea star reveals mechanisms of 3D chromatin organization in echinoderms...

Our work on the evolution of the regulatory genome of echinoderms is now out in @natecoevo.nature.com. Led by my former PhD Marta Magri, Danila Voronov & Saoirse Foley. Great collaboration of Arnone, Hinman & Maeso labs, started long time ago with our missed José Luis Gomez-Skarmeta: rdcu.be/eXX8l

We observed that while gene activity groups cell type functionally, whereas CREs and regulatory seqs group them ontogenetically. E.g. mesenteric and tentacle retractor muscles, a dev convergence described by @alisongcole.bsky.social and @ulrichtechnau.bsky.social.

We are considering to change the name, but then we take a big risk and will loose our Impact factor for 2 years. The last 10 years FinZ has been ranked among the top 10 journals in the category Zoology.

I can only second this. BUT, what people often are not aware of: Frontiers in Zoology does NOT belong to the rest of the Frontiers in journals. It is the official journal of the German Zoological Society, a BMC journal and founded BEFORE the other Front in. We suffer a lot from this hijacking.
