Excited to share our recent work on annelid comparative genomics, led by @Tom_Lewin. Using Darwin Tree of Life data, we assembled a dataset of 23 genomes and discovered lineage-specific chromosome scrambling. 1/3 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Final warning... The last chance to register is Monday 27th May. Our jam packed programme includes graph genomes, functional annotations, novel diagnostics, cell culture, single cell sequeuncing, experimental evolution and genomics for breeding... tickettailor.com/events/therosl…

Nice presentation by Nicolas Beirne at Sea-Unicorn #iMarCo2024 meeting in Montpellier, showing exciting results of blue mussel hybridisation and human-mediated interspecific introgression, vital work that @ExeterMarine’s Robert Ellis and Jennifer N. Schulze contributed to. 🦪🐚🌊🇫🇷🇬🇧🧑🏻‍🔬

Had a brilliant time at The Roslin Institute's shellfish biotechnology workshop. It was great to see everyone, to meet some fantastic people and to get a huge inspirational boost! Thanks a million Tim Bean Tim Regan Lab and Nick Wade for another great event :)

#Mussels are among the most sustainable & healthy forms of animal protein. Nice article on ways to boost mussel farming and clever innovations using byproducts like shells and byssal threads thefishsite.com/articles/revit…

YAS had a fantastic time at the #ASSG conference in Oban! Our reps @BivalveRapunzel, Ambre Chapuis, PhD, and @RhiannaRees explored the latest in #shellfish, networked with industry leaders, and enjoyed a great seafood social.🦪 Blog coming soon! #ScottishShellfish #ECR #Aquaculture

🐚 We loved connecting with so many ambitious young pros from the #shellfish sector at #ASSG! 🎉 Huge welcome to those who joined our growing YAS shoal 🦪 Excited to support your journey and build the future of #aquaculture together. Check out our new members at the YAS social ⬇️

New preprint on Kumamoto oyster (C. sikamea) genomics🦪🧬 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… They show how transposable elements (TEs) may drive haplotype diversity, enabling rapid adaptations. More evidence for genome diversity’s role in bivalve resilience #genomics #bivalve #aquaculture
