We have published a new paper in Nature Communications where we show how statistical phylogenetics can help to understand tumoral dynamics over time and space: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-12926-8  

We have been awarded an excellence 3-year structural grant for research groups from the Galician government. So now our GXB group has been stamped as Competitive Reference Group. We want to thank Xunta de Galicia for this support

Congratulations to Nuria for passing with honors her Ph.D. viva!

Congratulations to Merly for her PhD awarded today on NGS phylogenomics! You’ve been a GREAT student. Good luck for your postdoc at UC Santa Cruz. We’ll miss you…  

NGSphy, our tool for simulating NGS reads along gene trees or genome-wide along a species tree with multiple gene families, is now published in Bioinformatics. https://academic.oup.com/bioinformatics/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/bioinformatics/bty146/4925260?redirectedFrom=fulltext Source code, full documentation, and tutorials including a “Getting started” guide are available at http://github.com/merlyescalona/ngsphy

Both stability-constrained and structure-constrained substitution models are required to realistically predict the effect of mutations during protein evolution. A great study with Ugo Bastolla’s lab just published in Molecular Biology and Evolution, https://academic.oup.com/mbe/article-abstract/35/3/743/4775142?redirectedFrom=fulltext
