Many thanks to everyone who contributed — it was truly an incredible team effort. A real pleasure working with @tomlewin.bsky.social and @tosuke-s.bsky.social, and wonderful to close the circle together in Japan with Mayuko.

Synteny plots packed with detailed information can be hard to read. Here's a short animation showing how shared chromosomal fusions link phoronids and bryozoans.

Pleased to share our latest paper led by @tomlewin.bsky.social, now out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! We present the first chromosome-level genome of a phoronid and show that shared chromosomal fusions unite phoronids and bryozoans as sister groups.

This afternoon at the Biodiversity Research Center, Academia Sinica, we will be hosting Jordi Solana @jordisolana.bsky.social for a talk on exploring stem cells across the Tree of Life using single-cell sequencing. Join us if you are interested in cell type evolution!

Our bryozoan paper is out in @genomeresearch.bsky.social! Led by @tomlewin.bsky.social, we report genome shuffling across the phylum and synteny evidence for the Lophophorata hypothesis. Grateful to John Bishop @thembauk.bsky.social and the DToL project for sharing openly!
