The Vicoso group investigates how sex chromosomes evolve over time, and what biological forces are driving their patterns of differentiation. The Vicoso group is interested in understanding several aspects of the biology of sex chromosomes, and...

A while ago we posted a request for online resources on must-read papers in evolutionary biology, for a literature club. We received many answers in the meantime

What if one of the most mysterious humans in our evolutionary story was far bigger than we imagined?

The Liberles Research Group works in the areas of computational comparative genomics, and molecular evolution. The central theme in the research group is the detection and characterization of the lineage-specific divergence of protein-encoding...

A recent study published in PLOS Computational Biology introduces REvolutionH-tl 2.0 (https://pypi.org/project/revolutionhtl/), a computational tool designed to help solve this mystery. The software analyzes protein sequences and identifies...

Genome sequencing projects have enormous potential for benefiting human endeavors. However, just as acquiring a language's vocabulary does not enable one to speak it, databases that list the amino acid composition of proteins do not directly tell us...
