In this exciting new preprint, Warwick Vesztrocy et al use Bgee to show that "the most diverged orthologues display the greatest change in gene expression, thus suggesting that they have a greater functional divergence"

Left, phylogeny cartoon showing divergence between paralogs (symmetric: same branch lengths, asymmetric: different branch lengths for paralogs), and boxplots showing higher expression similarity for symmetric than assymetric paralog pairs.
Right, phylogeny cartoon showing divergence of paralogs to outgroup, and graph showing higher expression similarity for slower evolving paralogs than for fast evolving ones.
Thrilled to represent @ISBSIB at the AI-Bioscience Collaborative Summit in Washington DC, organized by @StateDept et al. Great to see a growing recognition of curated biodata’s critical role in AI breakthroughs, exemplified by resources like PDB & @uniprot enabling AlphaFold. 1/2
Bgee is proud to contribute open gene expression data to Wikidata. Happy birthday @wikidata!
You can leverage this data directly through Wikidata, or find it under RNA expression pattern in the info box of every gene page in Wikipedia.

This release includes the addition of a large number of bulk RNA-Seq libraries in Salmo salar (Atlantic salmon). We also now provide "physiological status", which holds information about the smoltification status of individuals which is especially relevant for Salmo salar.
We also added the free text anatomical, developmental and cell type information provided by authors in addition to the standardized ontology terms. @ISBSIB
