Time for #ConservationGenetics lightning talks. Matt Lott with a speed update on koala genomics, museum collections, climate change and conservation #ICG2023

Systematics: Museum genomics & morphology illuminate evolutionary history & diversity of Oriental Giant Squirrels—Arlo Hinckley (@arlohinckley.bsky.social) - Giant 🐿️ exist—the size of cats, but taxonomy is unstable - At least 2 distinct lineages each in bicolored and cream-coloured giant squirrel #IMC13

Mouse deer taxonomy is very unstable #IMC13 Marcus Chua evaluated this number with museomics

#MuseumGenomics

Museomics are necessary to resolve difficult groups like Peromyscus Susette Castañeda-Rico Jesus Maldonado #IMC13

Taxonomy: Museomics reveal new insights into systematics of the subfamily Neotominae—Susette Castañeda-Rico - Neotominae highly specious, includes diverse but taxonomically unresolved deer mice - Strong support for 5 new proposed genera with UCE + mtDNA - Peromyscus to be monophyletic #IMC13

Looking foward for #SMBE2023 where I will be presenting my poster about Finnish butterflies🦋, climate change, genetic diversity and museomics on Monday from 18:00 at San Paolo cloisters. Feel free to stop by, if you want to know more 😇

talk integrating museum genomics and fossil record to understand a little better the evolutionary history of psenid wasps at the 10th Congresso of International Society of Hymenopterists

In case X dies: we will be hiring 3 postdocs in the next year to work on an U.S. National Science Foundation-funded project: with me NAU, Frank Burbrink American Museum of Natural History and Tiago Simões Princeton University. Ads to come but DM me if you're into squamates, museums, phylogenetics, comparative genomics and phenotypic evolution!

70年前の博物館標本からDNAの抽出をしました。 DNAの平均の断片の長さが60bp以下なので、PCRの鋳型に使うのは無理そうです。 これが「博物館標本からDNAはとれない」と言われていた理由でしょう。 でも、次世代シークエンスなら全ゲノム配列決定も大丈夫！

博物館標本をシーケンスするのはmuseomicsそのもの #museomejp

@wareslab Think a natural history museum would b interested? Historically, would b if this was collection of specimens but #MuseumGenomics is growing & some collections may b excited 2 acquire this. If they r worried bout curation costs, random/representative subset could be useful later.

Did you publish a museum genomics investigation before 2022? If so, consider submitting the DOI at edwards-bird-lab.github.io/museum-genomic… to add it to a community bibliography of museum genomics research! 🪱 🍁

The update for IRscope visualising plastid IR junction sites is finally here. Congrats to Carmen and Bernardo (Master and PhD students) for the hard work done creating IRplus. Luomus HiLIFE_Helsinki Museum Genomics academic.oup.com/gbe/article/15…

New paper out today on the cover of Science!!! Parasitic cuckoos and their hosts are locked in an evolutionary arms-race that is driving speciation. Biological collections can answer big scientific questions – in this case, how do new species form? CSIRO Museum Genomics

It was an honour to work with Naomi Langmore, Alicia Grealy and the whole team on this paper. Collections are research infrastructure Ecology&EvolutionANU Museum Genomics
