Great effort! So eager to see #Erebia taking off.
๐จ New ERGA-BGE study alert! ๐จ @BioGenEurope .The reference genome of Erebia palarica, a montane butterfly endemic to North-West Iberia ๐ฆ, is now available. Explore its insights for biodiversity ๐โจ.โก๏ธ Read the full preprint: #genomes for #biodiversity.

Looking forward to get the #holocentric community together @UniNeuchatel . Thanks to @snsf_ch we can also offer some travel awards! ๐

Holocentric chromosomes are fascinating features found in diverse organisms, from butterflies and moths to sedges and nematodes. Instead of a single localized centromere per chromosome, those species...
So excited to be organizing this with @KayLucek! Come to our lovely swiss city and share with all your network, we're gonna have a great time! ๐งฌ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ชฑ.

Well done! Let's explore the role of 3D genomic changes during speciation in #holocentrics and beyond.

So exciting! What a great outcome of a group effort! Now we need to get the empirical side sorted ๐.
