CEG with a strong commitment to Norwegian Biodiversity Genomics

Last week on April 11th and 12th, the second Norwegian Biodiviersity and genomics conference organized by EBP-Nor took place at Forskningskparken in Oslo. The conference had interesting invited key lectures by Aoife McLysaght, Alexander Suh, Lene Lange and Olga Vinnere Petterson but also our group had a very […]

CEG med et sterkt engasjement for norsk biodiversitetsgenomikk

I forrige uke, 11. og 12. april, gikk den andre norske Biodiversitets- og genomikkonferansen i regi av EBP-Nor av stabelen i Forskningsparken i Oslo. Konferansen hadde interessante foredrag av Aoife McLysaght, Alexander Suh, Lene Lange og Olga Vinnere Petterson, men også vår gruppe var sterkt representert på konferansen. […]

New year – new name; FEZ is now CEG

As written in our last blog of the advent calendar, we had many changes already last year with a new group leader and a new group webpage, which we is still develop further this year. However, another change becoming effective this year is that we change the name […]

Nytt år – nytt navn; FEZ heter nå KEG

Som vi skrev i forrige blogg i adventskalenderen, hadde vi mange endringer allerede i fjor, med ny gruppeleder og en ny nettside, som vi skal videreutvikle i år. En annen endring som trer i kraft i år, er at vi skifter navn på gruppen vår og for første […]

Day 15: What’s coming next year!

December is a time to reflect on the year that has passed, both the happy and sad, the success and the failures. But it’s also a time to look forward to the year ahead, new possibilities and opportunities. For me, this is especially important, as next time December […]

Door 1: Sequencing genomes suggested by the community

It is the time of the year again and we are running our advent calendar again. The first door opened and reveals an update on the Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) project. The project started about a year ago and it is time to take a first look at […]

Doing genomic research with a masonry trowel

When you think about genomic research and sequencing genomes like it is the goal of the Earth Biogenome Project (EBP), Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) or InvertOmics you have in mind all these new fancy technologies called Next-Generation, Third-generation or High-through-put sequencing. All these amazing advances in technologies allowing […]

Group of the month: Rotifera

Rotifers, or “wheel animalcules”, are an interesting group of microscopic animals (size between 0.1 and 1mm in length) commonly found both in fresh water and terrestrial habitats; although less number of species have been described, marine rotifer species exist too. In regards with their classification, rotifers belong to […]

ERGA pilot project – what can we learn for future genome projects

As a proof of principle the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) consortium initiated at the beginning a pilot study. Several sequences centers and different research projects contributed to this pilot study allowing the first sequencing of reference genomes across Europe and setting the stage for application of the […]
