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 […]

For our 6th door, I want to introduce you to a puzzling aspect of my favorite study organism, Calanus—a group of tiny marine zooplankton that play a crucial role in the North Atlantic and Arctic ecosystems. These crustaceans, no larger than a grain of rice, sustain our oceans and […]

It is the time of the year, where our group opens a door at our advents calendar again. It is my turn to open the first door. Our group is involved in many research projects involving genomic data as you can see when looking at our previous posts. […]
