Congratulations to the graduates and thank you for the invitation!
Excited with two new preprints on evolution of molecular structure, in RNA (doi.org/10.1101/2025..., @n-martin.bsky.social) and proteins (doi.org/10.1101/2025...). Both RNA and protein structures are often conserved across evolution, but the underlying reasons are very different.

Thanks #44Perill, @ajuntamentbcn.bsky.social #eseb2025 @sesbe-org.bsky.social and for the support and trust! Activities Summary π
π¬Yesterday at Festa Major de GrΓ cia, Nora Martin explained how maths and simulations help us understand biology through the lens of high-dimensional fitness landscapes.
πWe are very happy to see our research explained in this setting!
πMaking science accessible to everyone is key.
In a session at 17h on Wed 20th, Nora Martin will discuss The complexity of adaptive landscapes at the Festa Major de GrΓ cia. You are welcome to attend!

Due to the stochasticity of biological processes, many realistic genotype-phenotype maps are non-deterministic (ND). ND maps from distinct computational models share features at a coarse-grained level. These shared features can be reproduced with a simple model: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

On Thursday, Jacobo Aguirre (CSIC-INTA) will be the next speaker at the Seminar Series!
