Etter Stian hadde vi en annen masterstudent, Pia, som konsentrerte seg om et rent bioinformatisk tema i vår gruppe. Hun forsvarte i går sin avhandling med tittelen «Evaluating the Applicability of Macrosynteny as a Phylogenetic Trait Based on an Exploration of Spiralia» (Evaluering av makrosyntenis anvendbarhet som et […]

After Stian, we had another Master student, Pia, who concentrated on a purely bioinformatic topic in our group. She successfully defend here thesis with the title “Evaluating the Applicability of Macrosynteny as a Phylogenetic Trait Based on an Exploration of Spiralia” yesterday.

Susanna forsvarte sin masteroppgave med suksess forrige uke. I prosjektet sitt ønsket hun å undersøke utviklingen av mitokondriell genomrekkefølge hos bukhårsdyr (Gastrotricha). Gastrotricha er svært små og flate dyr, som vanligvis ikke er lengre enn 1 mm. Likevel kan de ha svært delikate strukturer på huden i form […]

Susanna successfully defended her Master thesis last week. In her project, she wanted to address the evolution of the mitochondrial genome order of hairybellies (Gastrotricha).

After an already strong commitment to Norwegian Biodiversity Genomics earlier this year, CEG showed an even stronger commitment to Norwegian Biosystematics at the first ever “Norsk symposium i biosystematikk” organized by Artsdatankena and the Natural History Museum last week in Oslo. With 10 out of 49 contributed talks […]

Etter et allerede sterkt engasjement for norsk biodiversitetsgenomikk tidligere i år, viste CEG et enda sterkere engasjement for norsk biosystematikk på tidenes første «Norsk symposium i biosystematikk» som ble arrangert av Artsdatankena og Naturhistorisk Museum i Oslo forrige uke. Med 10 av 49 foredrag og “flash talks” bidro […]

In their daily work early career students and scientists are usually very busy with generating and interpreting data for their scientific projects. But it is equally important to discuss results and methods. While scientific conferences offer such opportunities in official settings, the annual Master, PhD and PostDoc Days […]

In the last month, Sunniva Løviknes and Jan Einar Amundsen successfully defended their Master theses they had conducted the last two years in our group. Congratulations to this very interesting project. Both worked on very similar topics. Around the world the number of artificial beaches and even islands […]
