Nemas In The Desert | CRC1211-B08

Investigating nematode diversity in the Atacama Desert

[Universität zu Köln @UniCologne]

💻Big Data gegen das Artensterben☠️
Biodiversity Genomics Center Cologne (BioC²) gegründet, um die genomische Vielfalt von Ökosystemen zu erfassen und zu verstehen, wie Arten-Gemeinschaften funktionieren und auf Umweltveränderungen reagieren.

Hot cocoa and nematodes with @l_pettrich @DesertNemas. Can you tell which family we are working on today? ☕️🔬

[Laura Pettrich @l_pettrich]

Excited to be at the #LRUA22 in Uppsala this week! 🇸🇪 Together with other ones from Cologne, like @lauraivillegasr, @HuesnaOe, @JosephKirangwa1 and twitter-less Shan. 🧬

If you are at the #LRUA22 come visit our poster and learn more about our work in the Atacama Desert @DesertNemas 🏜Very excited to learn more about long-reads!

@lauraivillegasr and @l_pettrich will join the training week organized by the #IntegratedResearchTrainingGroup (#IRTG) of the #CRC1211 in Königswinter to learn more about the #Atacama Desert and connect with other projects investigating this extreme environment. 🏜️

Finally the complete team was together!

#nemahunters on their way to their first sampling spot in the #Atacama #Desert. You wouldn't expect it but there are also some rivers creating green spots in the desert. 🏜️🌱 @Alex_Holovachov @lauraivillegasr @l_pettrich

Pictures of our trip will also be shared on Instagram! 📸

[Nemas In The Desert | CRC1211-B08 @DesertNemas]

On our way to new adventures! 🏜️ We are excited to find some #Atacama #nematodes and will be sharing our experience here with you! 🇨🇱

[DeRGA @DeRGAbiodiv]

Amazing talk by Philipp Schiffer (@wormlab_eu) about current projects and future perspectives of DeRGA and how to combine day and night sciences. ☀️🌑 #dergaverse

[Laura Pettrich @l_pettrich]

Excited to tweet together with @lauraivillegasr today and tomorrow about the DeRGA symposium: Reference genomes for biodiversity #dergaverse

[DeRGA @DeRGAbiodiv]

Hello everyone, here are @l_pettrich and @lauraivillegasr from @DesertNemas. We are very excited to hear our first keynote speaker @MarkBlaxter form @SangerToL. He walked us through The Tree of Life Genome Engine, a pipeline for obtaining reference genomes

[Nemas In The Desert | CRC1211-B08 @DesertNemas]

Come take a look at our poster at the @DeRGAbiodiv’s Reference Genomes for Biodiversity symposium. See you today at 15:00 🧬

[DeRGA @DeRGAbiodiv]

We are excited about the international symposium "Reference genomes for biodiversity" next week in Cologne, where we will share our knowledge on challenging genomes and connect with researchers of the biodiversity genomics community!🧬

Check out our two blog entries about the course we attended at the @NIBIO_no Svanhovd station!
@Alex_Holovachov taught us how to identify soil nematodes, which we hope to apply during our next field trip to the Atacama Desert. https://t.co/ny76IH6d0e & https://t.co/5cydnnfJ1T
