by Chrome Multiplier

In spite of war time fuel price hikes affecting the much of the world, long travel distances and imminent monsoon season, close to 70 researchers from at least 14 different countries converged on the small scenic island of Borocay to discuss the latest advances in genomic science that would impact aquatic marine invertebrate biology (https://gigavi.org/). … Continue reading The Global Invertebrate Genomics Alliance (GIGA) holds its Sixth conference and workshop in beautiful Borocay, Philippines, July 6 – 10, 2026

Undersea revisited

by Chrome Multiplier

In the 1937 Atlantic article, “Undersea“, Rachel Carson has a way with words and described the benthos before SCUBA was invented, and the Challenger deep descended. I should have cited this piece in my book, Assessments and Conservation of Biological Diversity from Coral Reefs to the Deep Sea: Uncovering Buried Treasures and the Value of … Continue reading Undersea revisited

Mesocosm experiments followed by transcriptome analyses reveal active genes and pathways during a cyanobacterial bloom in S. Florida

by Chrome Multiplier

Working with an Army Corp of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (ACE ERDC) funded project while in the Lopez laboratory, research scientist Lauren Krausfeldt has generated significant DNA sequence or “-omics” (comprehensive genomic) datasets that will serve multiple efforts and scientists working in the Lake O ecosystem. The second bloom research paper from our … Continue reading Mesocosm experiments followed by transcriptome analyses reveal active genes and pathways during a cyanobacterial bloom in S. Florida
