A region of suppressed recombination misleads neoavian #phylogenomics https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2319506121

"This section, just 2% of the bird #genome, convinced #scientists that most #birds could be grouped into two major categories, with #flamingos and #doves as evolutionary cousins. The more accurate family tree identifies four main groups and identifies flamingos and doves as more distantly related."

11am and on. Images of huge idle screens lighting up the office nearby. The whole meeting room turned into a collection of empty bottles, coffee cups and flipcharts with bubbles and clouds on it. With people having disappeared for lunch early, there's an odd, static feeling to that sight. Also, feeling watched by doves sitting on the concrete bearing the roof, adding another facet to todays grey. (Sorting what needs to be sorted. Fixing what probably could be fixed. And accepting there's a vast range outside of both.)
