Ganley Lab

Lab headed by Dr. Austen Ganley @AucklandUni, researching ribosomal DNA, random DNA and conducting acoustic experiments on Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast.

High-level gene expression patterns in hybrid species are consistent across fungi, plants and animals, reflecting common responses to hybridisation regardless of species or even kingdom #openaccess

Another shoutout to Emma Macdonald @ems368 who handed in her Masters thesis on rDNA copy number variation in mammalian lineages. She’s making the leap into the corporate world next year and we wish her all the very best! 📊📈

And that’s a wrap, folks! Ganley Lab had their last lab “meeting” for the year!! 🎄 🎁

We saw some ups and downs this year with virtual conferences in lockdown and (many) failed experiments. Nevertheless, we soldiered on!

Merry Christmas and happy summer to you all!!

A shoutout to @AlastairHarris6 who has handed in his PhD thesis on the effects of sound on yeast fermentation. We are really excited to see what he’s doing in the coming months with his distillery. We wish you the best with your endeavours! 🍻

Congratulations Prof. Constantine! 🎉 🐳

@marinaklemm Two very competent and knowledgeable monkeys for sure! 🐵🐵 🥼

[Ganley Lab @GanleyLab]

We are super stoked to have our lab head Dr. Austen Ganley presenting a talk, and Emma Macdonald @ems368 (Research Assistant) and Atharva Bhide @Gloomy_Halloumi (Masters student) presenting their research posters at @faobmb2021!!

We have Xmas trees and we have baubles! Who wants to help with decorations?

Hello all! We’d like to thank everyone for their good wishes for Ganley Lab being given a #marsdenfund.

Please note, Atharva (@Gloomy_Halloumi) runs the Twitter account so he/I will let Austen know about your kind comments and messages of congratulation!

[Ganley Lab @GanleyLab]

@shotliverfreak Hi there, I’m one of Austen’s Masters students and my name is Atharva (@Gloomy_Halloumi). I run the lab Twitter. I will definitely let Austen know of your well wishes! Cheers 😊

[Ganley Lab @GanleyLab]

We are absolutely over the moon to receive a #MarsdenFund this year! 😆 🎉

Our project, “Where lies the treasure? Using random DNA to find the functional regions of genomes.” aims to not only pioneer techniques in synthesising long double-stranded random DNA (1/2)

[Marsden Fund @MarsdenFund]

Kia ora koutou! Results from the 2021 round have been announced. Congratulations to all this year's #MarsdenFund awardees https://t.co/jqCjHg9rHm

@SimoneLinz @ppgardne Thank you!!

[Ganley Lab @GanleyLab]

@Jaylene74 Hi there, I’m Atharva (@Gloomy_Halloumi), one of Austen’s Masters students and I run this account. Thank you for the kind wishes. I will definitely pass them on to Austen. 😊

[Ganley Lab @GanleyLab]

@MajPadamsee Thank you!!

[Ganley Lab @GanleyLab]

@MMEG_UoA Hi Rochelle/Constantine Lab, one of the Master’s students (Atharva @Gloomy_Halloumi) runs the Twitter and not Austen himself, but I will happily say yes to an OGH drink on his behalf 😂

[Ganley Lab @GanleyLab]

@jmrbrock I usually cider but you’ll see me IPAing too (Atharva)

[Ganley Lab @GanleyLab]

@jmrbrock Yes most definitely! (Please can we use “beer” as a verb more often?).

[Ganley Lab @GanleyLab]

@jmrbrock Thank you!!

[Ganley Lab @GanleyLab]

@nzkatj @BashiriLab @EmmaLScotter @cmjonestodd @AucklandUni Thank you so much!!

[Ganley Lab @GanleyLab]

@BashiriLab @nzkatj @EmmaLScotter @cmjonestodd @AucklandUni Congratulations to you too! So glad to see SBS getting the attention and support it truly deserves. We have a bright future to look forward to 😊

[Ganley Lab @GanleyLab]

But also integrate these random DNA fragments into eukaryotic genomes and assess their interactions with cellular machinery. In doing so, we hope to answer some key questions surrounding genomic sequence functionality (2/2).

Thank you for your support 😊
