Great to see our lab’s latest work, led by my PhD student @ColleenLawless_, myself, and John Finarelli, featured on UCD’s home page. Looking at how cuttlefish ink targets the shark sensory system! @ucdscience @UCD_Research

🚨Bat1K Paper Alert🚨We’re excited to share "Bat genomes illuminate adaptations to viral tolerance and disease resistance", JUST published in Nature! 🦇📜Work led by Bat1K executive committee member @hillermich and @_AriadnaMorales🔥nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
Excited to share our new paper out in @nature, looking at the genomics of viral tolerance and immunity in #bats 🦇🧬with @ZixiaH, @EmmaTeeling1 and some incredible scientists as part of @bat1kgenomes. @UCDSBES @UCD_Research. Check it out: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
Excited to share the Hughes Lab’s 1st 2025 paper, and @ColleenLawless_’s first as first-author, exploreing cuttlefish ink as a chemical defence targeting shark olfactory systems. Great collab with John Finarelli and @OceanExplauren! @UCDSBES @UCD_Research bit.ly/40z7Ype
Huge congrats to @Unmani_ on her first first-author paper from the @jezsimpson_ucd and Hughes lab applying Rab network analyses to explore EMT in cancer metastasis. What a great way to end the year! @GenomicsCRT @UCDSBES

Exciting news! The first access requests have been processed, and the members who submitted them now have access to all 103 assemblies! 🎉 Let’s work together 🦇💪🏽@ZixiaH @evolauterbur @BastianFromm @xacfran @GrahamMHughes @hbzhao2 @LabDavalos @RayLabTTU and many, many more!!
Large-scale comparative analyses of Amphibians give insights into their genome structure and adaptability to climate change. Check out the latest work from an international team of scientists including UCD’s own @MeganPower101 @UCDSBES

Delighted our project is one of 20 funded by ERGA-BGE! @Kherronism, Myself and @CartneyAnn will explore the population genomics of shamrocks across Ireland
@REA_research @SBFI_CH @ISBSIB @EUgreenresearch @UCD_Research @UCDSBES @GenomicsCRT #ERGA #TRIDUBIRE
Our population analysis of T. dubium will offer insights into its adaptive potential amidst environmental changes, uncovering the species’ adaptation and demographic history. More broadly, our project hopes to elevate the profile of biodiversity genomics in Ireland.
You can check out our project website for more details and our progress at tridubire.github.io/
Super proud of my PhD students @ColleenLawless_ and @louise_ryan_ for giving excellent talks at the 2024 @UCDSBES Postgrad seminar day. A great day of talks and some really cool research presented!
Huge congrats to my PhD student @ColleenLawless_ on winning the audience favourite talk at the @ucddublin
#thesisIn3. Very proud supervisor here!! @UCDSBES
Huge congratulations to @BatLabUCD and the Hughes Lab’s @BatSamC on passing his PhD viva! A job well done @GenomicsCRT @UCDSBES
First paper of 2024! Our Sensommatic pipeline for mining sensory genes is out now. Led by PhD student @louise_ryan_, with input from @ColleenLawless_, this is the culmination of many hours of brainstorming, coding and benchmarking. @UCDSBES @GenomicsCRT

With more and more high-quality and T2T genomes becoming available, Sensommatic represents a fast and scalable means of exploring and researching how sensory modalities evolve in different vertebrate species.
Huge congrats to @louise_ryan_ on her first ‘first author’ paper. Very proud supervisor here!!
