The Whole Nuclear Genome of the Giant Caribbean Barrel Sponge, Xestospongia muta, and its Microbial Symbiont Community Now Completely Sequenced

by Chrome Multiplier

The NSU MMG Laboratory is happy to announce that a chromosomal-level, whole nuclear genome of the giant barrel sponge, Xestospongia muta, and its microbial cohort, has now been published by our photosymbiotic and sponge hubs of the Sanger/Moore Aquatic Symbiosis Genome Project. https://wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/10-336/v1 (Photo credits go to Liz Fromuth and Brian K. Walker). Among sessile marine … Continue reading The Whole Nuclear Genome of the Giant Caribbean Barrel Sponge, Xestospongia muta, and its Microbial Symbiont Community Now Completely Sequenced

Paisley Samuel attends “Sample to Genome Course” at the Sanger Institute

by Chrome Multiplier

As part of the Aquatic Symbiosis Genome Project, the Wellcome Sanger Institute has been generously providing training workshops in genomics and bioinformatics to early career researchers. The latest was the “Sample to Genome Course” at Hinxton Hall, from 6th-12th October 2024. The course introduced and revealed the details from the Darwin Tree of Life genome … Continue reading Paisley Samuel attends “Sample to Genome Course” at the Sanger Institute
