@nahuja.bsky.social🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨 Choanoflagellates reorganize their global cytoskeletal architecture within seconds to explore confined microspaces. This is the main PhD work of the amazing @maitefreired.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... A tread 🧵⬇️
Show PostFrom bioRxiv to PNAS! 🎉 Very happy to see our paper “Diversity and spatial segregation of TRP channels in the closest relatives of animals” now published in @pnas.org. Another piece in the puzzle of how animal cell signalling evolved. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Show PostOur new tool corpus makes biodiversity literature searchable by AI agents via MCP, with provenance to source text and figures. With @shchurch.bsky.social , Felipe Zapata, and Maciej Mańko. In @currentbiology.bsky.social - www.cell.com/current-biol... Code: github.com/caseywdunn/c...
Show Post@nahuja.bsky.social also sequenced 20 additional Nanomia from around the world. Population genomics supports three previously described species plus at least one additional undescribed species, with some species occurring in overlapping geographic regions.
Show PostKey developmental gene families, including homeobox and Wnt genes, have not undergone major expansions. And genes expressed in the same zooids are generally not clustered together in the genome
