GSA Student Research Grant 2023-24: Congratulations to Mary Hawkes from Otago Biochemistry who has won a NovaSeq 6000 S1 Flowcell + library construction from Illumina & AgResearch to investigate the transcriptomes of early development in kuku (green lipped mussel)!

Also congratulations to Sanjay Kumar Pradhan from Western Sydney - HIE who has won a NovaSeq 6000 S1 Flowcell + library construction from Illumina & Ramaciotti Centre for Genomics to explore the Queensland fruit fly virome! We're excited to see the outcomes of both of these experiments in the future!

My last PhD paper is up as a preprint! Have a read if you like functional genetics in Drosophila, insect hormones, or incongruous results between CRISPR and RNAi…

Very pleased to have this huge chunk of my PhD out in GBE (Genome Biology and Evolution)! Lots of cool stories about genes involved in detoxification and steroid metabolism in insects, as well as lessons about what evolution can teach us about gene function… doi.org/10.1093/gbe/ev…
