I am truly grateful to be awarded the #Croucher Fellowship 2024 for my research on oak trees @OxfordBiology. Thank you @croucherFDN for hosting an eventful Symposium and Foundation Day Dinner. Also lovely to meet with Prof Paul Lehner FRS again since he chaired my interview.

We’ve just got a new member in the @MacKay_Lab——@nanopore PromethION P2 Solo! More #sequencing and more #biology!

A little bonus take-away: we found that #BUSCO is inaccurate in these conifer megagenomes, many of the predicted single-copy genes actually show considerable variation in normalised coverage. It is understandable as up to odb_10, no reference species is a conifer.

Our study demonstrated how long-insert #sequence capture and a de novo local assembly approach help study genomics effectively in these #megagenomes (> 20 Gbp)! Also a big shout out to @ArborBio and @nanopore!

Interestingly the gene involved in the pathway one step before, Ugt5b, is found to be dominantly single-copy.

This gene encodes the enzyme that catalyses the conversion of glucosides to the active forms piceol and pungenol, which confer #resistance against herbivory of spruce #budworm.

Copy number variations (CNV) occur more often than SNPs. In plants, we have seen ~200 copies of RLG1a in monkey flower and EPSPS in carelessweed.

Guess how many trees outside woods were there in 1850? 🌳 Old maps and hierarchical model gave the answer! Half of them were lost and they are now in great threats. @Ewan_McHenry @WoodlandTrust

@trishuphigh presenting the potential and challenges of blended finance model in ecosystem restoration. Happy to learn that she was also a #Somervillian during her DPhil (she recognised me by my @SomervilleOx stash at #BES2023 SIG social)!

I have a poster at A7.2 #BES2023. I can’t be there during the poster session but you can find me representing @BES_EGG in the ‘Meet the SIGs’ at the foyer the same time. DM me any questions or read the preprint: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.08.18.551884 to find out...

Welcoming remarks by our very own @ymalhi @BritishEcolSoc at #BES2023. It was (and is still quite) indeed intimating to join such a big conference - but everyone here is always friendly and helpful. There’s always something for everyone - and @BES_EGG if you’re into genetics! 🧬

So many familiar faces in the #BES2023 Welcome Mixer, but also getting to know many new friends! Just a head’s up - @BES_EGG will have a joint SIG social with @BESClimate AND @BESForests tomorrow at Dark Horse at 7:45 pm! Meet at 7:30 pm at lobby or just come directly!

It’s been an absolute pleasure to visit the Ecological & Evolutionary Genomics Lab @sywsin! And thank you for the team’s valuable feedback on our #badger research with @MingshanTw. Hope I would come home more often and visit these lovely scientists again. 🦡🦜🌳
