We saw a similar pattern of sequence conservation in a prior transcriptomic study of lncRNA evolution across species. lncRNAs shared between species show strong sequence conservation at the TSS but not throughout the body:

this week's feature in #CurrentBiology is about our genus Homo - the definition of which may have to be reconsidered. Blog entry contains magic link for free access. https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2026/09/being-homo.html

Taxidermy — “the man-made surgery” 🦍🧑🏽

Taxidermy preserves specimens for education and scientific study.
Understanding our similarities can inspire us to better protect them. 🌍🐒🦍💨

@alexrepgh.bsky.social et al. identify SNP associated with genes involved in physiological processes such as ion regulation in gills and fatty acid metabolism in the brain during freshwater adaptation by oceanic sticklebacks.

You've heard about CRISPR, but have you heard about its little known (likely older) sibling VIPR?

VIPR, a CRISPR-ish system, "evolved from ancient conflicts between competing viruses and introduce a new programmable tool for controlling gene expression."

I have neglected the development of the map of life for too long. I'm still working on the cartilaginous fish. The new addition is the wonderfully bizarre Squaloraja.

Half of our genome is made of transposons - snips of DNA that can move and copy themselves. But they're more than parasites or genetic junk. The post How Virus-like 'Jumping Genes' Became Our…
