Next up Dmytro Omelchenko (from Zuzana Musilova - FISHEVO 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 fish-evo lab in Prague) shares his insights into the molecular basis of hypoxia adaptation in crater lake cichlids

Continuing with crater lakes, great talk from Axel Meyer MeyerLab_Konstanz on the genomics of repeated adaptations and parallel speciation of Midas cichlids

Starting off our next session on behavior is James Herbert-Read with a great keynote on individual and collective perception in fishes 🐟#cichlidsci22

The behaviour session goes on with Cody Garcia, telling us about his cool work on behavioural tendencies in different Lake Tanganyika cichlids. #cichlidsci22

Rounding out the behaviour session, Svantje Grätsch walks us through the complex behaviours involved in turning a shell into a home for 𝘓𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘴 #cichlidsci22

Here we go for the last Cichlid Science 2022 session of the day, on speciation and adaption genomics. Julia Camacho with a great talk on the evolution of vision-related genes in the Malawi cichlid radiation.

Next Maxime Policarpo with a fascinating talk on the evolution of chemosensory systems in Tanganyikan cichlids. #cichlidsci22

Fantastic finish of today's programme with Pascal Hablützel walking us through MHC gene evolution in cichlids, closing a great session on gene (family) evolution. #cichlidsci22 We'll be back to tweeting tomorrow for our last session.

It's the last day of #cichlidsci22! Mary Kishe from TAFIRI is starting the day with a keynote talk on the extinction and resurgence of haplochromines in Lake Victoria 🐟

Great talk from Avner Cnaani discussing using RNAseq data to detect allele specific expression #cichlidsci22

And it’s time for the last talk of #cichlidsci22: Joana Meier shares her fascinating work on how genetic admixture facilitated rapid adaptive radiations

Brilliant talk by Alex Hooft on his work on the genomics of fisheries induced adaptation #cichlidsci22

And that's it for #cichlidsci22! See you all next time!

And a big THANK YOU to Dept of Zoology for the huge amount of help and support in setting it all up 🤍🖤

Excited to say our review of genome editing in cichlid fishes, focusing on CRISPR/Cas9 tech, is now published in Royal Society Publishing #OpenBiology! Link here: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… Some highlights in🧵

Very happy that my first contribution to the cichlid community is out🐠🐟🐠. This review was the outcome of the Genome editing workshop at Cichlid Science 2022. We hope it will be useful for the community! Check Bethan Clark's thread for details.
