the #salmonid #brown #trout features #hatchery-induced gene expression in #immune cells. This may explain some issues in #stocking programs. Also: #orthologs with contrasting expression patterns, indicating functional divergence! Also: novel #markers for immune cell subtypes for qPCR!

Screaming into the blue void: anyone out there interested in some long-read #pacbio #european #wolf #sequence data? We have too much data from a pilot to not use, but it is too little data to assemble a #T2T on our own. Open to #collaboration. Get in touch!

#EPIMAR2025 - beautiful place @Institut de Ciències Del Mar @Barcelona, great people, open community, fascinating research 🧬 🌎 🧪 🥼 🐟 🪸 🌊

That’s a first for me: traveling to @eseb2025.bsky.social by train from Bern together with @cbank.bsky.social. Let’s hope all those connections hold, and I won’t hate myself for saving all that CO2! 🚂 🧪 🧬 ☁️ 🌍

And then there is this preprint @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social, one I’m pretty excited about. A single cell sequencing atlas of a salmonid immune system, from brown trout. Weird B-cell/Neutrophil crossover cluster - what do immunologists think? 🐟 🔬 🧬 🦠 🧫 🌎 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The gobies keep on giving… preprint on success factors for id/td research is now available @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social. 🐟 🌍 🔬 🧬 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

#epimar #epimar2025 and now the program is out! Looking forward to the trip to Barcelona :) 🐟 🧬 🌍 🌊 viajabien.sharepoint.com/sites/ALO/AL...

A picture of a panda ant on my hospital floor has sent me down the rabbit hole of velvet ants today. THE BEAUTY!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet_...

This master student teaches me so much! She’s on the job market. Skills include #ecology #evolution #wildlife #bioinformatics #fieldwork #molecular #labwork and #modeling, an insane amount of curiosity, and an incredible ability to teach herself using available and new resources. >Marion Meli<

First data discussions on the huuuuge experiment that will teach us a lot about inducible variation & heritability. #adaptation #maternal #inheritance #environment #RNAseq #oocyte

My copy arrived last week, and I am loving this book so much so far 😍 it’s “every master student in evolutionary biology should have read this” material.

My current network is weirdly neuro-science-heavy. Where are the evolutionary biologists? Whom should I follow? Which channels should I use?

The Institute of #ecology and #evolution at @unibern.bsky.social is looking for two tenure-track assistant professors (APTT): APTT Mathematical or Computational Ecology 👩‍💻 APTT #Conservation #Biology 👨🏾‍🔬 More info: tinyurl.com/IEEjobs Application deadline: 1 March 2025

Ready for three days of teaching, discussing, learning #epigenetics in the Swiss mountains! @scnatCH #rigiworkshop #interdisciplinary 🌱 🐭 🪱 🦋 🧬

St. Louis Zoo is looking for a new director to lead the construction, opening, and day-to-day operation of the WildCare Park. Please share widely; it's an awesome opportunity to join an awesome organization! For details, see here: e777163e-3ce6-4273-824e-2a459243798e.usrfiles.com/ugd/e77716_f...

Interested in doing a PhD with me in Sweden? Experimental+computational genomics skills and/or interests? We have an open position! Great environment at KTH on @SciLifeLab campus, staff benefits, well-funded project, close interactions with our New York team. kth.varbi.com/en/what:job/...

My institute (VAI) has joined BlueSky! @vainstitute.bsky.social - give them a follow if you like Metabolism/Epigentics/Neurodegeneration/Structural Bio or Cell Bio. We also have 5(!) open faculty positions currently advertised across 3 departments. Check them out.

My measure for holiday success: brain re-starts science and strategy thoughts, reading a paper sounds attractive, and admin emails have lost their throttling power. A few more days won't hurt though 😁🌊🌅🩱🐠🏄‍♂️

My Department (Metabolism and Nutritional Programming) is hiring for new faculty at ANY LEVEL. It is an amazing place to work with substantial internal support. If you have any questions about VAI/Michigan etc I'm happy to chat with anyone interested! vai.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/VAICar...

CSUN Biology, my department, is hiring for TWO tenure-track positions in Molecular, Cellular and (or) Physiological Biology I’m not on the committee and it’s not my “area,” but I’m happy to answer questions about the department, CSUN, or life in greater LA careers.pageuppeople.com/873/nr/en…

Done! Use #eDNA or e🧬 to have your posts show up in the feed. Please share and have others contact me to be added to help build that eDNA community I too am missing.

Its grant season in Switzerland … excellent advice in this video. youtu.be/5jMNaiVX-68?...
