#Phylogenomics is a field that uses entire genomes to reconstruct the evolutionary history of life, building on traditional phylogenetics by leveraging large-scale genomic data.
It analyzes a wide range of genomic information to infer relationships between organisms, study gene and genome evolution, and overcome limitations of single-gene or single-locus analyses
Excited to share our new #preprint!
Large-scale Phylogenomics Reveals Systematic Loss of Anthocyanin Biosynthesis Genes at the Family Level in #Cucurbitaceae
🔗 https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.10.06.680802
We uncover family-level losses of anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin biosynthesis genes — shedding light on the evolution of pigment diversity in cucurbits.

Assisted by sniffer #dogs, researchers discover 3 new #truffle species https://phys.org/news/2025-08-sniffer-dogs-dna-sequencing-truffle.html
#Phylogenomics, trophic ecology, and systematics of the truffle-forming Morchellaceae https://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/wfbi/pimj/pre-prints/content-persoonia55art2
"the paper confirms what a lot of people had suspected for a long time, which is that the North American truffle species is genetically very distinct from its European relatives... Scientists are giving this #NewSpecies a name honoring the #Cascadia region: Leucangium cascadiense"
