“HIGHLIGHTS:
• Developed a GEE-based global coastline detection framework (S2Coast).
• HWLSentinel-2 serves as a unified and stable indicator for global coastline detection.
• The S2Coast-2023 coastline dataset is generated from annual Sentinel-2 imagery.
• Pixel-level accuracy compared with VHR-based OpenStreetMap coastlines..."

The transition from #aquatic to #terrestrial #life has been one of the most significant evolutionary challenges.

This decisive process in the #evolution of life on Earth required a profound renewal of the genome.

But what changes did genomes undergo to facilitate the transition to the terrestrial environment?

Now, a new study reconstructs the key genomic adaptations at different stages of the evolutionary transition to terrestrial #ecosystems.

The results show that, although each lineage followed its own evolutionary path, many adaptive functions evolved independently and repeatedly.
