CONGRATULATIONS to Science Foundation Ireland CRT student James Ward James who passed his viva today👏👏👏 James' research focused on high resolution functional population genomics of modern, historical and ancient cattle. Well done also to supervisor David MacHugh UCD Research UCD Conway Institute

Yale's medical students are fed lies in the name of progressive ideology. Have a look at the whole tweet.

We are thrilled to reveal our story in Nature Genetics on using high-throughput functional genomics to systematically study the biology of both generalist & human-restricted Salmonella: nature.com/articles/s4158… This work was led by our postdoc Benjamin X. Wang #Salmonella

Don't forget...tomorrow our next Research Seminar Series takes place at 1pm. We are excited to welcome Kevin Daly & Laurent Frantz to bring you "How the Past Shapes the Future - palaeogenomic insights into livestock & their pathogens”. Register now at: shorturl.at/ft2hn

Superb opening weekend for our 3 new exhibitions RCPI Heritage Centre with the @typhoidland team! Special thanks to Stephen Gordon 🔬 for his masterclass on microbial pure culture!

Claas Kirchhelle RCPI Heritage Centre @typhoidland Thanks @kirchelle and all the @typhoidland land team for creating this truly wonderful exhibition RCPI Heritage Centre. I was delighted to be involved over the weekend (in a 'microscopically' small way🔬😀). Online resource is superb as well 👏👏typhoidland.org/exhibitions/du…

A fantastic EU-LI-PHE CA22112 meeting in Bologna earlier this month. Great to meet up with collaborators and hear the latest in @livestock @FunctionalGenomics and @Phenomics. eu-li-phe.eu/news/eu-li-phe…

On paper England should beat Slovakia comfortably. What a shame they're playing on grass. #ENGSVK #Euro2024

You know you're at the 70th Anniversary Acid Fast Club meeting when you see.... #Lille 🇫🇷

This letter just appeared in Nature, responding to a special June issue on sex & gender that conflated them. It emphasizes the biological definition of sex, based solely on gamete size and the developmental apparatus behind big vs. small gametes. nature.com/articles/d4158…

It’s finally out! 🥳 Today @cellcellpress we report non-mineral fossils of ancient chromosomes in skin from a woolly mammoth that died in Siberia, 52,000 years ago. 🦣💨 Don’t miss our thread below! 🧵👇🏽

Shamelessly proud of Louis L'Hote paper - Neolithic Brucella melitensis from a sheep! Thread to come, from him. nature.com/articles/s4146…

The JD Vance couch tweets are absolutely elite. Haven’t laughed this hard in a while Here’s a thread of some of my favorites

Congratz to Jiangang Han on defending his University College Dublin #FunctionalGenomics PhD thesis. Excellent work!👏🍾👍 Co-supervisor #Lin_Jiang @ #IAS #CAAS Support from UCD School Ag & Food, UCD Conway Institute & UCD School of Veterinary Medicine #CAAS #IAS & thanks to Exam Committee Juha Kantanen, Trudee Fair & Stephen Gordon 🔬

Prof Juha Kantanen Luonnonvarakeskus reminiscing his Trinity College Dublin #livestock #PopulationGenetics #postdoc with Dan Bradley TCD Genetics & Microbiology 🐄🧬🤠

There are a few loud people who love to show this video, focusing on Kary Mullis's comment that "with PCR, you can find almost anything in anybody." I don't dispute most of that sentence-but please focus on his use of "𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁". x.com/betrily/status…

My favourite discovery ever has just come online. Can I please tell you about some seriously wacky molecular biology? The story starts with a reverse transcriptase that SOMEHOW defends bacteria from viruses. (👇 I recommend sound ON for the video 🎹) 1/
