My presentation in #PAG34 about Conservation Genomics in Ecuador PUCE Ecuador. Thanks to Kara Dicks Jill Wegrzyn and Karl Fetter for the invitation :-)

Feliz de compartir nuestra nueva publicación sobre ranas de hojarasca Incluye 7 nuevas especies y además, un nuevo género, Urkuphryne, que se originó hace 23 millones de años en el Chocó ecuatoriano...

Excellent talk by my friend Taylor Hains from the University of Chicago. Do you think working with whole genomes in birds is easy? Well, think again... Assembling microchromosomes in birds is challenging but, at the same time, fascinating ! #PAG32

My favorite talk so far at #PAG32 . Dr. Aryn Wilder from the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance talking about using whole genomes to inform genetic rescue in the pocket mouse

Lauren Ong at #PAG32 on her poster presetation about our conservation genomic project in Ecuador.

This is my first time working with fresh blood samples for whole genome sequencing. Is going great !!!! We keep adding genomes for Conservation Genomics in Ecuador :-)

Les presento a una nueva especie de ranita arbórea del Chocó de Ecuador y Colombia Es producto de la investigación de una de mis estudiantes de tesis en la carrera de Biología de la PUCE, Doménica Aguirre PUCE Ecuador (1/n)

Abstract submissions for ISEMPH talks are due Feb 28th. I am looking forward to hosting a symposium "The Future of Comparative Oncology" in conjunction with Anuraag Bukkuri's cancer evolution session.

SOUND ON. You’re hearing the first howl of a dire wolf in over 10,000 years. Meet Romulus and Remus—the world’s first de-extinct animals, born on October 1, 2024. The dire wolf has been extinct for over 10,000 years. These two wolves were brought back from extinction using

Telomere-to-telomere de novo assembly from standard ONT reads (LSK114, Simplex). A really exciting advance—makes high-quality assembly practical for population-scale sequencing! Preprint from Haoyu Cheng, Heng Li and colleagues biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I got hit by some rather sudden and extreme financial hardship so if anyone is in need of remote wetlab contract research, strictly BSL1, do let me know. Currently scrambling for gigs. Plant, Bacterial, Archaeal Bioeng Custom Lab Hardware Turn Key Genetic Design Please RT 💚
