Looking forward to giving a talk tomorrow about soil invertebrate genomes, and final preparations this evening in peace 🎉💪🌻🤞🙏 DeRGA #dergaverse

Absolutely thrilled to be today at the DeRGA symposium to hear the talk of Iker Irisarri on the genomes of #Zygnema. #dergaverse

Stimulating to think about what is the genomic basis of multicellularity? Iker Irisarri tells us about Genomes of filamentous algae closest to land plants shed light into body plan evolution and terrestrialization.

We are now into SUPERGENES. A talk by Prof. Dr. Elena Conti Comparative genomics elucidates the evolution of floral heteromorphism.

Learning more about supergene content underlying floral heteromorphism from Elena Conti Universität Zürich in the comparative genomics section of DeRGA #dergaverse

Why the reference genome of Arnica montana? Medicinal plant species endemic to Europe. More from Katja Reichel.

Finding genes not present in your reference genome by a pangenome approach presented by Agnieszka Golicz from Universität Gießen at DeRGA symposium #dergaverse

Pangenomes are the new reference. Agnieszka Golicz.

Now we listen to Bjorn Usadel Comparing plant genomes from models to gigagenomes.

Björn Usadel usadellab from Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf Forschungszentrum Jülich | @[email protected] demonstrates developments in plant genome sequencing, identification of introgressed genome regions and gene families DeRGA #dergaverse

Is reference genome actually a meaningful term? Jean-Francois Flot from Université libre de Bruxelles on genome structure variation within a species DeRGA #dergaverse

Listening to J-Francois Flot. Intraspecific variations in genome size and genome structure in animals.

Good morning and welcome to the the last day of this wonderful #symposium! This is Viktoria Hellekes taking over from Joseph. Looking forward for more exciting talks! #allgenomes #dergaverse

Very excited to hear about protists reference genomes!! Javier del Campo Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE) #dergaverse

What a dream to propose to a room full of biodiversity genomicists how all their amazing genomes can be harnessed using #GenomicForecasting to tackle the climate and biodiversity crises! Thanks for the opportunity DeRGA!!

Back from lunch to another interesting talk about soil invertebrate genomes from Dr Gemma Collins (she/her) 🇳🇿 #dergaverse

What an inspirational conference! Thanks so much @AmWaldvogel @wormlab_eu astrid boehne DeRGA for the invitation! So great to finally meet in person so many colleagues!
