🚨Exciting pre-print from the lab!👉"Pervasive evolution of tissue-specificity of ancestral genes differentially shaped vertebrates and insects". Deep comparative #transcriptomics across #bilateria by @FedeMantica et al @CRGenomica. 👀biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Summary👇 How has tissue-specific gene expression evolved since the origin of bilaterian animals all the way to extant vertebrates and insects? To address this, we assembled a vast RNA-seq dataset covering 8 tissues and 20 species, generating 95 new RNA-seq samples for 15 species. 1/16
