Check out our new manuscript published on @HeredityJournal , "A major quantitative trait locus affecting resistance to Tilapia Lake Virus in farmed Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)". A collaboration between @roslininstitute and @WorldFish

Come and join us at Benchmark genetics! We are looking for a senior geneticist. Great opportunities and challenges working with several aquaculture species worldwide. Even better? You can choose to work from Scotland, Norway or Chile. https://t.co/L22CINLQhr

1/7🌊🦪 New preprint alert! 🦪🌊 We’ve developed a quick, reliable method to detect Bonamia in native oysters – no dissection required! Dive into the details here ➡️ https://t.co/0PwVaenuw4 @beatnim @j_nschulze @roslininstitute

Benchmark Genetics offer high density SNP array genotyping for Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, whiteleg shrimp, and Nile tilapia @$16 USD per sample, tissue to genotype. Many other panels and services too. See link or visit us at AquaSur to find out more:

🚨New Preprint!🚨 Sea lice threaten wild and farmed Atlantic Salmon worldwide! 🌎 But Coho Salmon are resistant to this parasite! 🐟💪 How can this be?🤔 We tackled this question with single nuclei RNA sequencing!🧬 A 🧵(1/7) https://t.co/mYBB0AEFrg

📢 New paper alert! Our latest work on using LD-panel and imputation to improve rainbow trout resistance to columnaris disease from @aqua_impact now published and available online 👉

Previously, we have shown that resistance to PMCV in Atlantic salmon has a significant genetic basis 🐟. Now, we are reporting additional genetic links. Read more: https://t.co/qdmRIt0yEv #SalmonResearch #Genetics @WeAreBenchmark

Job opportunity core scientist @roslininstitute... We are looking for a new post doc to work with us studying shellfish aquaculture, disease and biology. Lots of exciting projects underway at the moment. Please get in touch for more info... https://t.co/t4wjANoCSK

Decoding sex determination in salmonids 🧬🐟: Our latest study confirmed the presence of an autosomal, non-functional sdY gene in Atlantic salmon. Mapped to chromosomes 3 & 6, it sheds light on gender discordances. Read more: [ https://t.co/msAm1EghtF] #Genomics #Aquaculture

Not all #aquaculture systems are equal in their contribution to #SDGs - insightful new paper on diversity, trade-offs and #governance challenges for aquaculture to improve human and planetary health. With a fantastic team of co-authors! #JWAS #foodsystems https://t.co/9dyQXS8uiE

Our new paper is finally out! Check out how well-selected low density SNP panels can achieve near maximal genomic prediction accuracy in the fish species that we tested. The addition of imputation can improve accuracy independently of the LD panel design.

Dream job alert!! - and the one that got me started with ⁦@WorldFishCenter⁩ 7 years ago... Work in beautiful Timor-Leste, with some of the highest marine biodiversity in the world. #marine #biodiversity #fisheries #ecology

Whole-genome long-read sequencing downsampling and its effect on variant calling precision and recall. #WGS #LongReads #LRS #VariantCalling #Sequencing #Coverage #Benchmarking @biorxivpreprint

New paper! We investigated the dynamics of ISAV infection in Atlantic salmon cells using single-cell RNAseq, finding evidence of paracrine signalling and more. Thanks to all co-authors!! @OGervais_ @gratacapr @Athi_pap @RossHouston @BioMedCentral https://t.co/mDp0T6TTNR

I’m looking for a core scientist to join me on the Roslin istitute. The overall objective of the lab is to enhance the current livestock breeding strategies by increasing their productivity, adaptability, and resilience through developing novel crossbreeding methods and tools.
