Great warm-up for tonight's concert - the techno marching band MEUTE stopped by LOEWE Centre Translational Biodiversity Genomics & SENCKENBERG for a special experience: performed DNA extractions in the lab and enjoyed a guided tour of the museum. Wish you guys a nice concert and a huge party tonight! #Sciencerocks

And now the other way around. 😉 Thx for the evening MEUTE ! 🎷🧬

Another exciting #GirlsDay LOEWE Centre Translational Biodiversity Genomics and SENCKENBERG! Engaging discussions about #genomics, #DNA, #labwork, followed by hands-on sessions, including pipetting & DNA extraction. 🧬The highlight: creating handmade necklaces with own DNA! Huge thanks to all who participated! 🙏🏻

The #diversity of #molluscs 🐌🐙🐚🦑, the winner of the International #molluscoftheyear 2024, and how to sequence a #genome 🧬were to be discovered in the SENCKENBERG museum yesterday, including a live video stream to the LOEWE Centre Translational Biodiversity Genomics lab and a hands-on session for kids. 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬👍

On the way to the EMBO workshop "Establishing state-of-the-art mollusc genomics" in Namur, Belgium 🧬🐚🐌🐙 Looking forward to interesting talks & posters about mollusc genomics, great people & informative discussions! Photo: the beautiful roof of the train station in Liége.

Thank you very much! I feel very honored to present our work here! 🐌🧬 I am looking forward to your talk on Thursday! 😊 EMBO workshop on molluscan genomics in Namur, Belgium #molluscsareawesome

Just enjoyed the presentation of BruzosAliciaL, Dr. (she/her) on spreading cancer cells in molluscs 🐚 Never heard of this before and I will definitely stay tuned on this project! Hope we can stay in contact! 👏🏻 EMBO workshop on molluscan genomics in Namur, Belgium.

And that’s a wrap! Thank you to @ADennis1980 and the local organizing committee for an incredible week filled with great science, great food and even better company. Safe travels all! 🐚🦪🧬

Check out the preprint of our new paper on the chromosome-level genome assembly of Elysia timida! I'm so happy that it's out! I'm gonna go to hug some trees now! 🥳🤗🧬🐌👩🏼‍🔬👩🏼‍🔬 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… @CarolaGreve Carles Galià Camps LOEWE Centre Translational Biodiversity Genomics SENCKENBERG Goethe-Universität

📢PAPER OUT! We all know about the commonly named #neglected #taxa, so we tried to understand them a little bit more in this project! 🤩 If you are interested in #heterobranch #mitogenomes, check out our new paper!!🐌🐚 doi.org/10.1080/238023…

Paper party!🥳🙌🏻 Our paper on the chromosome-level genome assembly of Elysia timida is published! Thanks to all my co-authors, @CarolaGreve, Carles Galià Camps, Tilman, Alex, Charlotte, Damian, Julia, Eric & Kornelia!🎉 LOEWE Centre Translational Biodiversity Genomics SENCKENBERG BMC rdcu.be/dWku3

We held our 10th and final retreat of LOEWE Centre Translational Biodiversity Genomics in #Glashütten, in the beautiful #Taunus! It was the perfect blend of engaging discussions, hiking, nostalgia, and exciting plans.💪 So nice to have the whole team together — thank you all for the amazing time! 😍
