We are happy to announce the first genome release note of the InvertOmics project in Genome Biology and Evolution. The genome of Emplectonema gracile has been sequenced and generated at the reference level of the EBP standards. What does this mean? The quality of the genome is of […]

Vi er glade for å kunne kunngjøre den første genomutgivelsen fra InvertOmics-prosjektet i Genome Biology and Evolution. Genomet til Emplectonema gracile har blitt sekvensert og generert på referansenivået til EBP-standardene. Hva betyr dette? Kvaliteten på genomet er av så høy kvalitet at det kan brukes som referanse for […]

As part of the ArtsDatabanken project “Assessing biodiversity in the marine algae belt“, we taught a class of eager students and consultants about the species of our project. The course did not only comprise theoretical lectures, but really hands-on experience. We went out to different spots in Drøbak […]

Another paper I really enjoyed reading this year was “Sampling multiple life stages significantly increases estimates of marine biodiversity”, published last April by Svetlana Maslakova and her colleagues. They argue that most surveys of marine life underestimate the total number of species because they rely almost entirely on […]
