Very nice article from Elie Dolgin about translating insights into the genomic basis of relevant #bat traits (immunity, longevity, metabolism) into new disease treatments. nature.com/articles/s4158… Bat1k Genome Project

WE ARE HIRING: POSTDOC POSITION AVAILABLE. Explore new mechanisms of how DNA damage drives aging and alters heritable genomes. We are seeking enthusiastic candidates with a background in genetics, cell biology, biochemistry or computational biology igsad.de/schumacher-lab…

Only 2 days left and then our exciting LOEWE Centre Translational Biodiversity Genomics SENCKENBERG Biodiversity Genomics Symposium using PacBio sequencing will start. I am honored to host the 2nd scientific session with talks about European field hamsters, songbirds, vampire bats, blue whales and tortoises.

And now Ariadna Morales from LOEWE Centre Translational Biodiversity Genomics and Michael Hiller lab talks about #bats and viruses. Amazing work! Bat1k Genome Project Bat Biology Foundation

Great to be representing Bat1k Genome Project and the vocal learning work we do at University of St Andrews at the LOEWE Centre Translational Biodiversity Genomics retreat today!

Excited to share our new paper hot off the press Nature Communications on #Genomics of cold adaptations in the #Antarctic #notothenioid fish radiation. A culmination of years of work with a great team of collaborators

Great to see organoid-like systems being developed for non-standard (I should say emerging) model organisms like cavefish. Important to test genomic changes and explore mechanisms.

Senckenberg Biodiversity Genomics Symposium, covering long read sequencing, genome assembly and analysis, including talks about #bats and other cool species. Free registration. June 21st.

Researchers in Science present a method used to compare genes between nearly 500 species of mammals. scim.ag/2sx #Zoonomia

Check this. TOGA is one of the best tools for gene annotation and to infer orthology.

We have applied it in several projects with amazing results.

Congrats Michael Hiller and team

The TOGA paper is finally published in Science! A tool marking a before and after in #ComparativeGenomics . Please check it out. HUGE congrats to the amazing developer team Center for Systems Biology Dresden MPI-CBG Dresden ZoonomiaProject SENCKENBERG LOEWE Centre Translational Biodiversity Genomics & especially to @kirilenko_bm & Michael Hiller🥂

You:

1) annotate genomes🧬🔍?
2) need orthologs 🧬=🧬?
3) evaluate genome assembly quality🔴🟡🟢?
4) are interested in gene losses👻?

Then TOGA is for you! 🥳
