New preprint! Using >200 chromosomal genomes, we reconstruct the chromosomes of the ancestral Lepidopteran and show that for over 250 million years of evolution, butterfly and moth genomes have largely been shaped by fusions involving small autosomes and the sex chromosome 🦋🧬

An inspiring day spent at COST with lots of valuable insights including from previous COST leaders. Bring on the COST action which will support the Psyche community alongside LepEU kicking off in October!.
What a fun day spent with these inspiring future #COSTaction leaders! 👏 Our afternoon was filled with discussions and exercises on leadership. Thank you all for joining and for your contribution to the workshop. Looking forward to seeing you lead the new Actions! 🙌

It was a pleasure to talk to Robin McKie @ObserverUK about Project Psyche which is striving to sequence all 11,000 species of European butterflies and moths. A huge community effort! 🦋 @Psychegenome

A wonderful writeup on our study also out today in @guardian @guardianeco, it was great to talk to @pgreenfielduk about butterfly genomics and why sequencing their genomes is so vital!.

How chromatin is structured is important for gene expression, DNA replication and repair. Linker histones play a key role in modulating the level of the chromatin condensation via their variable, disordered C-termini. Read this preprint to explore how! 🧬.
