Genomics has revolutionized wildlife conservation through techniques like Whole Genome Sequencing, uncovering vital genetic diversity for healthy populations. It identifies and protects unique traits in genetic rescue efforts, ensuring endangered species survival. Evolving rapidly, genomics is pivotal in conserving biodiversity, protecting ecosystems, and implementing effective rescue strategies.

With the Revio system, you can achieve 30X coverage of 12 GB genomes per run, plus save on costs with flexible multiplexing options for smaller species. Now, the size, complexity, and ploidy level of organisms are no longer obstacles in generating haplotype-resolved, reference-grade assemblies.

New world record alert! The South American lungfish is now the largest animal genome sequenced to date! Often, people think that the size of the genome of the species is correlated with the size of the species, but it is not as this animal is actually very small. According to a new study published in Nature Portfolio, it is also the closest living relative to the first four-legged creatures which are the ancestors of all vertebrates, and “among fish, lungfish are the closest relatives to humans.”  Our team of #DNA and #genomic enthusiasts, dare we say self proclaimed nerds, hope you find this as fascinating as we do :) Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/eimRXZtP #Genomics #fish #science #research #biodiversity #Genetics

Scientists have produced a reference DNA code for an Arctic breeding, migratory songbird - the white-crowned sparrow - which is a key species used to study bird biology. The reference genome will support scientists around the world in studying the behaviour, evolution, and physiology of birds. It could also support efforts to investigate specific aspects of their behaviour, such as how birds respond to stress and climate change. #ReferenceGenome #AvianBiology #BirdBiology #ModelSpecies #MigratoryBirds #Songbird #WhiteCrownedSparrow #AnimalBioscience #AnimalScience #AnimalResearch Simone Meddle | Jacqueline Smith https://edin.ac/48rVpg8

WEST Consulting Biologist Kristy Brightwell is a co-author on the recently published research article, "Dynamics of multilevel alliances in St. Johns River, Florida, Tamanend's bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops erebennus) with respect to an epizootic unusual mortality event," published in Marine Mammal Science. Disturbance events can affect social patterns and mating strategies in communities. The St. Johns River bottlenose dolphins were impacted by the 2013 – 2015 unusual mortality event (UME) caused by cetacean morbillivirus, which led to deaths and changes in the community’s social network. Between 2011 and 2017, researchers studied male dolphin alliances, noting that the UME disrupted many alliances. Males adapted by forming new alliances or remaining unallied. Despite demographic changes, female presence and breeding season continued to influence alliance behavior, with multilevel alliances providing support against rivals. These combined results show the reproductive benefit of alliances and the adaptability of male mating tactics.   Check out the article here: https://lnkd.in/gJaFuszA

This article brings up the overlooked need to also understand and look at the spillover of viruses from humans to other animals, not just the other way around

Scientific first: Researchers find traces of disease in dolphin poop - University of Hawaii at Manoa: Scientists have found a new non-invasive way to identify a deadly virus in dolphins that could be a testing breakthrough. For the first time, researchers at the University of Hawai'i Health and Stranding Lab have successfully detected FRASER's morbillivirus, which can cause respiratory and neurological disease, in the feces of a dolphin. The findings published in Marine Mammal Science provide a new tool to identify and monitor threats faced by Hawai'i's marine mammals. https://lnkd.in/eshbb26D

🦞Signal Crayfish Virtual Symposium 12 Apr 2024 | Virtual Symposium | £25 |💡 Invasive crayfish are one of the biggest threats to aquatic ecosystems worldwide. They can cause major adverse effects on native crayfish, invertebrates, fish and plant communities as well as bank erosion and sedimentation. The American Signal Crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) has been responsible for a massive decline in the UK's native White-clawed Crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) due to competition and the transmission of a deadly disease, crayfish plague. It continues to expand across Great Britain and Europe, causing major negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems. A variety of signal crayfish control methods have been attempted with varying degrees of success. This Signal Crayfish Virtual Symposium will bring together conservationists, ecologists, freshwater biologists and more to discuss the latest in Signal Crayfish control in Europe and what more can be done. This event will be hosted by Dr Nicky Green and feature four presentations that focus on the current situation in the UK, trapping & fish predation, crayfish barriers and gene editing, together with a panel discussion. Bookings now open. https://lnkd.in/dV6R4Q7U
