#Phylogenomics is a field that uses entire genomes to reconstruct the evolutionary history of life, building on traditional phylogenetics by leveraging large-scale genomic data.
It analyzes a wide range of genomic information to infer relationships between organisms, study gene and genome evolution, and overcome limitations of single-gene or single-locus analyses
Excited to share our new #preprint!
Large-scale Phylogenomics Reveals Systematic Loss of Anthocyanin Biosynthesis Genes at the Family Level in #Cucurbitaceae
🔗 https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.10.06.680802
We uncover family-level losses of anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin biosynthesis genes — shedding light on the evolution of pigment diversity in cucurbits.

PhyloSIB, our annual workshop about molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and comparative phylogenomics took place Wednesday in Lausanne as a satellite event preceding Biology25.
15 SIB Groups gave presentations on recent developments in the field. We had a full house with 80 participants. A lively and fruitful open discussion forum concluded the workshop.
