Graph showing the SUMSTAT statistic for different organs or tissues, colored by system. Values from the Nervous and Male reproductive systems have the highest values, while all others are quite similar.
Here this sum over organs/tissues shows a strong excess of positive selection on regulatory sequences in human nervous system evolution 😎. And to a lesser extent in male reproductive system. #MolecularEvolution #EvoDevo
Congratulations to @nextstrain for this great paper! Studying the evolution of moulting beyond insects has been challenging, and we are starting to see how moulting is both deeply conserved and evolving differently in pancrustacean lineages. #EvoDevo #ArthropodEvolution #MolecularEvolution

Balancing selection alert!! 🧬🧪
New preprint where we try to quantify how likely (or rather, unlikely) it is for balancing selection to maintain stable polymorphism, and how easy (or rather, challenging) it is to identify its signatures in genomes.

How does a “universal” transcription factor evolve to do species-specific jobs?
Our new preprint reveals how divergence in TBP’s domains shapes transcriptional specialization across eukaryotes.

Update of our preprint on Inter-individual gene expression variability in fishes! We improved statistical analyses of continuous variables, and especially added machine learning on promoters which confirms cis-regulation of organ-specific expression variability, under stronger sequence […]

Starting #ESEB2025 a bit late, with an exciting symposium on whole genome duplication. They couldn’t fit all of the talks in, I’ll be talking on “Gene expression variability and evolutionary outcomes after whole-genome duplication in fishes” tomorrow in the Genetics symposium. #GeneDuplication […]
🔍 Measuring how fast expression evolves opens a path to understanding how organisms evolve—not just what evolves.
This is just the beginning: from single genes to networks, expression clocks can help decode the tempo of evolution.

Poster for the “Molecular Origins of Life 2025” online conference, held July 16–18, 2025. The vibrant artwork by Priyanka Oberoi features an abstract early Earth scene: volcanic landscapes, DNA, molecules, and a rainbow prism bursting from a cracked sphere, symbolizing the emergence of life. Lightning bolts and suns add dynamic energy. A QR code links to www.lmu.de/mom2025. At the bottom, the list of invited speakers is shown in colorful text: Donna Blackmond, Jasna Brujic, Irene Chen, Daniel Duzdevich, Kosuke Fujishima, Paul Higgs, Marcel Hollenstein, Philipp Holliger, Frieder Klein, Corinna Kupfer, Sergei Maslov, Ulrich Müller, Arvind Murugan, Henrike Niederholtmeyer, Takumi Okuda, Matthew Pasek, Alexey Potapov, James Saenz, Anja Spang, Dora Tang, Zoe Todd, Yuichiro Ueno
