Our team at the Cal Academy is recruiting a college-level intern for a biodiversity genomic project!
It's a 10-month part-time paid position. Please help spread the word ( ignore the application deadline) @calacademy

[Athenalam @Athenalam10]

Come work with us at the Center for Comparative Genomics @calacademy . This Senior Lab Tech position is vital to all our biodiversity genomic research.

Van Dam et al. present a #genome assembly of the Easter Egg Weevil

They phylogenetically compare genomes across #insects and find that in beetles, genes stay localized on chromosomes for millions of years

Please watch this accurate but depressing documentary, it's important!
Pro tip: line up some cat videos to watch right after to cool your rage. @novapbs

Happening tomorrow at 11PT. Join us and learn about the amazing plants and animals native to California and the amazing genomic researchers studying them! @ChlOrland @CASBirdman @jacobs_sarahj @dlrhj

[Athenalam @Athenalam10]

April 14th: 4 awesome speakers will share their genomic work on conservation of CA native spp & documentation of CA biodiversity! Join us to learn about endangered Black Abalone, Spotted Owl, Indian Paintbrush & Death Cama! DM for zoom link @CASBirdman @jacobs_sarahj @ChlOrland

The “Sunray Lettuce Coral” (Helioseris cucullata) has suffered dramatic declines becoming one of the rarest species in the Southern Caribbean. We hope to use @PacBio to sequence its genome and study the genetic diversity in the remaining populations #HiFiExhibit📸:Katharine Prata

[MatthewVanDam @MatthewVanDam1]

Studying beetle diversity is timely and critical. This population of easter egg weevil's forest homes are now gone. #hifiexhibit

[Athenalam @Athenalam10]

Have you seen a more charismatic beetle? I would like to sequence their transcriptome using @PacBio to study the genetic basis of the structural aposematic coloration of these intriguing beetles #HiFiExhibit

[Rayna Bell @RaynaCBell]

How do sexual selection, natural selection, and anthropogenic factors structure introgression in an island hybrid zone? Hoping to improve our draft genome assemblies with @PacBio long-read sequencing of the #SaoTome #reedfrogs! #HiFiExhibit 📷Stanbridge Foto

Come check out talks from some of our favorite museum colleagues hand picked by yours truly 😊: Matthew Van Dam + @flylogeny+ @algould40 (@calacademy), @vl_gonzalez(@NMNH), @EthanTolman ( @Americanmuseum)

[PacBio @PacBio]

Of Mites and Men? How the Easter Egg Weevils Got Their Spots? The Evolution of Molluscan Weirdness? The talk titles for our March 30 event w/ @calacademy Center for Comparative Genomics get more exciting by the day! (& speaker pics are pretty great too!) https://t.co/tMOLLhXjEL
