I've complained on here a few times about synteny plots that are harder to read than they need to be. I decided it was time to actaully do something about it: introducing SynTangle, a tool for untangling whole-genome synteny plots github.com/Hanliconius/... 1/

Crazy monkeys have crazy genomes! New preprint by @axeljensen.bsky.social investigates karyotypic evolution in African guenons www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... These primates are infamous for high genetic, phenotypic, ecological & karyotypic variation, they diversified 12mya and still they hybridise!

🦇 Bat1K's biggest paper yet is out. Largest bat genome + fossil study ever: 103 genomes, 44 fossils, 137 researchers. We rewrote the bat family tree! Bats likely originated in Europe ~65 million years ago, not Asia, Africa or Americas. @bat1kgenomes.bsky.social doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-11007-3

New preprint out today! [1/5] Can higher recombination rates help populations adapt more quickly to environmental change? We used forward-time simulations to find out. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
