I forrige uke publiserte vi en artikkel om meiofauna og hvorfor det er viktig å studere dem, og hvilke vitenskapelige spørsmål som bør tas opp i neste omgang. Artikkelen «Fundamental questions in meiofauna research highlight how small but ubiquitous animals can improve our understanding of Nature» ble publisert […]

Last week, we published an paper on meiofauna and why it is important to study them and which scientific questions should be addressed next. The paper “Fundamental questions in meiofauna research highlight how small but ubiquitous animals can improve our understanding of Nature” was published in Communications Biology. […]

The Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) Project is a community-driven effort funded by the EU to establish a framework for coordinating DNA barcoding and genome sequencing across Europe. As part of the genome stream of BGE, reference genomes from species from critical European biodiversity are sequenced. An important task […]

Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) er et fellesskapsdrevet prosjekt finansiert av EU for å etablere et rammeverk for koordinering av DNA-strekkoding og genomsekvensering i hele Europa. Som en del av genomstrømmen i BGE sekvenseres referansegenomer fra arter fra kritisk europeisk biologisk mangfold. En viktig oppgave i dette arbeidet var […]

I’m three out of four semesters deep into an MSc, meaning that in a few short months I will be delivering a completed thesis, with detailed results and an in-depth discussion. I’ve had a timeline laid out since the very beginning and am largely on track. That isn’t […]

As mentioned in the first calendar door of our advents calendar this year, genomics of small animals is challenging. Yesterday, Nhu Dinh successfully finished her Master thesis but she also experienced some of the challenges related to the small animals and genomics. The problem is that some of […]

Som nevnt i den første kalenderluken i årets adventskalender, er genomikk av smådyr utfordrende. I går ble Nhu Dinh ferdig med masteroppgaven sin, men hun fikk også erfare noen av utfordringene knyttet til smådyr og genomikk. Problemet er at noen av dem er så små og har så […]

Denne uken var den siste hele uken før juleferien, hvor alle går på sin velfortjente ferie. Men til tross for at det har vært en rolig uke på museet, var det en stor dag for Nhu Dinh i dag. Hun forsvarte nemlig masteroppgaven sin i dag. Gratulerer Nhu […]

This week was the last full week before the Christmas break where everybody goes on their well deserved holidays. However, despite all the slowing down at the museum this week, today was a big day for Nhu Dinh. She successfully defended her Master thesis today. Congratulations Nhu Dinh. […]

Earlier this year in September Ivanković and colleagues published the results of a study coordinated by the research group of Jochen Rink at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, Göttingen, Germany and presented highly improved genomes of the four planarian flatworm species from the genus Schmidtea. These […]
