Many thanks to @ilianabista.bsky.social , @bfeldmeyer.bsky.social, Jacopo Martelossi, and all participants of the #AdaptationGenomics course.

We hope you enjoyed the week and that the methods and skills you’ve gained will be valuable for your data and research projects!

Happy to see this work officially out at MBE. Great collaboration led by @snbogan.bsky.social looking into antifreeze gene evolution in Zoarcoidei fish genomes.

We reviewed the use of long-read sequencing with both @nanoporetech.com and @pacbio.bsky.social data for analyses of eukaryote #biodiversity for environmental samples #eDNA and #barcoding, providing a complete guide for future applications #BiodiversityGenomics @sgn.one
