Working with #LAMP or tired of the mystery around raw Ct values in #qPCR? Meet LAMPrey – our new open-source tool for better analyzing qLAMP & qPCR data. It replaces Ct with the inflection cycle threshold (iCt) 🧵

New paper: Early-life heat stress boosts DNA repair in single zebrafish embryos - but add their stressed peers, and the benefit vanishes. As climate change increases heatwaves, we must understand how embryos handle stress in social environments. doi.org/10.1002/1873-3468.70… @LFeugere

In the @ERC_Research funded #MolStressH2O project at @OdysysLab, we’re exploring how aquatic animals deal with climate stressors. From altered DNA repair in baby fish 🐟 to chemical stress signals that ripple through entire communities 🌊, it’s going to be a wild ride.

Last week I had the privilege to present during the #OAWeek2024 how #OceanAcidification combined with #OceanWarming affects shrimp from the Northwest Atlantic. The video now is available here: youtu.be/n7-8vZCHcCw?si=pV6K…
Replying to @goa_on
🌎The North American Ocean Acidification Network #OAWeek2024 session will highlight #OceanAcidification indicators in coastal waters, impacts on marine mollusks, as well as combined #OA and #OceanWarming impacts on shrimp populations. Register here: tiny.cc/NorthAmerican2024

Our new paper is out where we officially introduce the #Amphibian #Genomics Consortium and analyse gaps in knowledge and representation.
I am delighted to share our recent article on the #Amphibian #Genomics #Consortium (AGC), led by @TAKosch and @TorresSanchezM, published today on BMC Genomics. Article link: researchgate.net/publication… #conservation #amphibiaconservation

New paper alert! Check this out to learn how publicly available amphibian genomes vary in quality and repeat content. We also investigate synteny across all three amphibian orders 🐸🧬 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

It's been a quiet but busy summer for the lab. Here are some news to celebrate! * @SarenaBanu won a grant by NEOF to support her PhD project on the effect of heat stress on multicellular development with RNA sequencing data, which also includes training.

This means: we're hiring! We are looking for a project co-ordinator to replace Liam, who will be employed on a 50% basis and help with lab organisation and ordering, travel organisation, and liaising with animal care staff +

This may be interesting for a recent graduate who’s already based at UCD, and wants to work in the academic environment while finishing up a paper maybe, or writing a grant. The candidate must be legally allowed to live and work in the Republic of Ireland. Initial contract 6 Mo.
