Evolutionary genomics of ants. PI at the Institute of Evolution, University of Haifa. Focusing on evolution of social structure.

On the bus home after publishing the preprint of our best paper ever, by far. Have you ever wondered how complex traits have evolved repeatedly across the tree of life? May be we have some answers...

500 million years! Incredible!
Am ancient and conserved sexx chromosome in cephalopods.

@DanGraur 😊👍 I'm all for historical accuracy. I made a comment about pedagogical considerations. Sometimes you want to acknowledge the true history but teach a more convenient one 😜

@DanGraur Thanks Dan, I wasn't aware of the historical disagreement. I think the "wrong dogma" got widespread because it simplifies and emphasizes the more dominant route and neglects duplication and the exception of reverse transcription. And so it's useful for (some) teaching.

@IgorUlitsky Agreed! Emacs (which is far superior to vim) gives me extra power features. My favorite trick is to open my shell session in emacs, which allows e.g. to search back. See more here: (I wrote this post 15 years ago!)

@IgorUlitsky But I think it's a stretch to say that "it's better than the modern version". It's hard to compare. These are tools for doing things in very different ways so hard to compare. What's obviously true is that we're so very old!

Come to my talk this afternoon at #PGG58 to hear about an exciting development in the study of social chromosomes and their evolution! I'm going to show that an ancient (>100MY) chromosome repeatedly evolved supergenes for social polymorphism (14:30 in LT2)

@DanielKronauer @mosasaurus27 @RockefellerUniv @CurrentBiology Super awesome! Amazing and beautiful story - thank you @DanielKronauer and @hgdarras ! Aren't ants simply the best?

@MushtaqBilalPhD It's much more than teachers policing students. We can't even police ourselves (most of the time). Smartphones and social media showed that humans aren't good with self control. Discipline isn't something that everyone can naturally do with no external help.

@MushtaqBilalPhD I bet it might do badly quite often, even if the references it gives are real. We're likely to get more papers from students that cite works incorrectly (more than we used to get already before)
