January 22, 2019

 Molecular Biology and Evolution journal has released a new cover (January 2019) that features an evolutionary study by Söll lab’s postdoc Sergey Melnikov and a former undergraduate student Kasidet Manakongtreecheep (currently at the Massachusetts General Hospital). The artwork on the cover shows a tree of life with ribosomes in a shape of apples to draw a parallel between evolution in macroscopic world (shapes and functions of bodies) and microscopic world (structure and function of macromolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids). Congratulations to Kas and Sergey!
