Pavloudi, Christina; Santi, Ioulia; Azua, Iñigo; Baña, Zuriñe; Bastianini, Mauro; Belser, Caroline; Bilbao, Jone; Bitz-Thorsen, Julie; Broudin, CarolineThe European Marine Omics Biodiversity Observation Network (EMO BON) is an initiative of the European Marine Biological Resource Centre (EMBRC) to establish a persistent genomic observatory amongst designated European coastal marine sites, sharing the same protocols for sampling and data curation. Environmental samples are collected from the water column and, at some sites, soft sediments and hard substrates (A...
Origin and evolutionary trajectories of brown algal sex chromosomes.
Barrera-Redondo, Josué; Lipinska, Agnieszka P.; Liu, Pengfei; Dinatale, Erica; Cossard, Guillaume; Bogaert, Kenny; Hoshino, Masakazu; Craig, Rory J.Research on the biology and evolution of sex chromosomes has primarily focused on diploid XX/XY and ZW/ZZ systems. In contrast, the rise, evolution and demise of U/V systems has remained an enigma. Here we analyse genomes of nine brown algal species with different sexual systems to determine the history of their sex determination. U/V sex chromosomes emerged between 450 and 224 million years ago, when a region ...
The European Reference Genome Atlas: piloting a decentralised approach to equit...
Mc Cartney, Ann M.; Formenti, Giulio; Mouton, Alice; De Panis, Diego; Marins, Luísa S.; Leitão, Henrique G.; Diedericks, Genevieve; Kirangwa, JosephA genomic database of all Earth’s eukaryotic species could contribute to many scientific discoveries; however, only a tiny fraction of species have genomic information available. In 2018, scientists across the world united under the Earth BioGenome Project (EBP), aiming to produce a database of high-quality reference genomes containing all ~1.5 million recognized eukaryotic species. As the European node of the ...

Widespread horse-based mobility arose around 2,200 BCE in Eurasia
Librado, Pablo; Tressières, Gaetan; Chauvey, Lorelei; Fages, Antoine; Khan, Naveed; Schiavinato, Stéphanie; Calvière-Tonasso, Laure; Kusliy, Mariya A.Horses revolutionized human history with fast mobility. However, the timeline between their domestication and widespread integration as a means of transportation remains contentious. Here we assemble a large collection of 475 ancient horse genomes to assess the period when these animals were first reshaped by human agency in Eurasia. We find that reproductive control of the modern domestic lineage emerged ~2,20...

Mc Cartney, Ann M.; Formenti, Giulio; Mouton, Alice; De Panis, Diego; Marins, Luísa S; Leitão, Henrique; Diedericks, Genevieve; KIRANGWA, JOSEPHABSTRACT: A global genome database of all of Earth’s species diversity could be a treasure trove of scientific discoveries. However, regardless of the major advances in genome sequencing technologies, only a tiny fraction of species have genomic information available. To contribute to a more complete planetary genomic database, scientists and institutions across the world have united under the Earth BioGenome P...
The genomic history and global expansion of domestic donkeys
Todd, Evelyn T.; Tonasso-Calvière, Laure; Chauvey, Lorelei; Schiavinato, Stéphanie; Fages, Antoine; Seguin-Orlando, Andaine; Clavel, PierreDonkeys transformed human history as essential beasts of burden for long-distance movement, especially across semi-arid and upland environments. They remain insufficiently studied despite globally expanding and providing key support to low- to middle-income communities. To elucidate their domestication history, we constructed a comprehensive genome panel of 207 modern and 31 ancient donkeys, as well as 15 wild ...

Priorities for ocean microbiome research
Abreu, Andre; Bourgois, Etienne; Gristwood, Adam; Troublé, Romain; Acinas, Silvia G.; Bork, Peer; Boss, Emmanuel; Bowler, Chris; Budinich, MarkoStudying the ocean microbiome can inform international policies related to ocean governance, tackling climate change, ocean acidification and pollution, and can help promote achievement of multiple Sustainable Development Goals. Microbial communities have essential roles in ocean ecology and planetary health. Microbes participate in nutrient cycles, remove huge quantities of carbon dioxide from the air and supp...
