Warming seas threaten #coral-algal #symbiosis, & so reef #ecosystems. @Dr_Cnidariana @HolliePutnam &co show that #CoralLarvae alter nutrient metabolism by increasing N assimilation to maintain symbiotic relationships & survive thermal stress #PLOSBiology https://t.co/cd323zmQDi

Chris Mantegna is a third year @UW_SAFS grad student leading a mentorship program to train students in marine science and conservation and create “an inclusive environment where students feel part of the community."

🦀Bitter crab syndrome (BCS) might sound like an attitude problem, but it’s a condition faced by valuable Alaska #fisheries: snow crabs and Tanner crabs. SAFS grad Aspen Coyle shares more about her research into BCS, caused by a parasitic dinoflagellate⤵️

@henryd_aniello @SznDohrn I have had wonderful time, particularly visiting @SznDohrn, including the research facilities, aquarium, dadom museum, the people- thank you for the invitation @henryd_aniello

Metagenomics and #COI sequencing folks:
If you have deep sequencing of PCR amplified products and want to phase the different alleles, what do you use and how do you deal with PCR recombination artifacts?

Check out our latest! We’re excited at the utility this new tool for Pacific oyster will bring.

Also will share how we are using the panel @Research_VIU/ @VIUDeepBay at the Pacific Coast Shellfish Growers Association Conference next week #shellfish78 @UBCeoas

Oregon State University announced an assistant professor position of #aquaculture - expected to contribute to shellfish research- https://t.co/RdWAaJUyfS

[AP Climate @AP_Climate]

The UN says more aquatic animals were farmed than fished in 2022. That’s the first time in history. https://t.co/SSFqe93iRx

[Steven Roberts @sr320]

@themetzgerm Two things we are thinking is more robust annotation with trinnotate (have no data on increased how much better this would be) and doing WGCNA to group with modules and possibly lean on annotations (processes) of other module members.

[Northwest Treaty Tribes @nwtreatytribes]

The Kurt Grinnell Aquaculture Scholarship Foundation is hosting its first Pacific Northwest Indigenous Aquaculture Summit this August, bringing together tribes to support traditional foods, economic opportunity and cultural resources through aquaculture.

@themetzgerm Agree 100% but that is different from p-value / fold query. We use enrichment to reduce, as we are not confident we know how 0.2 fold versus 2.0 fold difference impacts physiology. A diff question I would love to know - what do we do when 40% of DEGs are not annotated?
