At the interface between biology and computer science, we seek to better understand evolutionary and functional relationships between genes, genomes & species.

In this exciting new preprint, Warwick Vesztrocy et al use Bgee to show that "the most diverged orthologues display the greatest change in gene expression, thus suggesting that they have a greater functional divergence"

For evolutionary biologists interested in tracing genomes back to their ancient ancestors, we’ve developed EdgeHOG—a tool that reconstructs ancestral gene orders at an unprecedented scale and speed. #Genomics #EvolutionaryBiology #EdgeHOG Thread!

EdgeHOG is now available on GitHub github.com/DessimozLab/edgeH…. Whether you’re working with a small clade or a large phylogeny, you can now perform ancestral gene order inference with ease. Try it out and let us know how it goes. #OpenScience #GitHub

Have a look at the article I reposted by @BallouxFrancois, @cedriccstan and @LucyvanDorp if you're interested in viruses and their evolutionary signature when jump hosts. I had the pleasure of writing a news and views piece about this work with @cdessimoz

📢 Glad to share our piece 'AI and the democratization of knowledge' @ScientificData. Data is the new oil—ripe for reuse. But what does it take to reuse? it's about making data interpretable by all, including AI, the ultimate non-specialist! #OpenScience nature.com/articles/s41597-0…
