Very happy that my first contribution to the cichlid community is out🐠🐟🐠. This review was the outcome of the Genome editing workshop at @Cichlid2022. We hope it will be useful for the community! Check @_Bethan_Clark's thread for details.

Excited to say our review of genome editing in cichlid fishes, focusing on CRISPR/Cas9 tech, is now published in @RSocPublishing #OpenBiology! Link here: https://t.co/BTsM8XTzYv Some highlights in🧵

And a big THANK YOU to @CamZoology for the huge amount of help and support in setting it all up 🤍🖤

Missed @RebekkaHoech

And that's it for #cichlidsci22! See you all next time!

Congratulations to the winners of the talk and poster prizes @HooftAlex @_Bethan_Clark @AnaSaruz Madeleine Carruthers @PutmanALK @CharlotteHuygh6 Rebecca Hoch and @ashvparker_ash 🎉🎉🎉

Brilliant talk by @HooftAlex on his work on the genomics of fisheries induced adaptation #cichlidsci22

And it’s time for the last talk of #cichlidsci22: @joana_meier shares her fascinating work on how genetic admixture facilitated rapid adaptive radiations

“It’s madness!” #cichlidsci22

Time for our last session and an update on deciphering the cichlid phylogeny from George Turner (@Dlimnothrissa)

Great talk from @ACnaani discussing using RNAseq data to detect allele specific expression #cichlidsci22

It's the last day of #cichlidsci22! Mary Kishe from @tafirihq is starting the day with a keynote talk on the extinction and resurgence of haplochromines in Lake Victoria 🐟

Fantastic finish of today's programme with @PascalHablutzel walking us through MHC gene evolution in cichlids, closing a great session on gene (family) evolution. #cichlidsci22 We'll be back to tweeting tomorrow for our last session.

Next @MaximePolicarpo with a fascinating talk on the evolution of chemosensory systems in Tanganyikan cichlids. #cichlidsci22

Here we go for the last @Cichlid2022 session of the day, on speciation and adaption genomics. @jule_jop with a great talk on the evolution of vision-related genes in the Malawi cichlid radiation.

Rounding out the behaviour session, Svantje Grätsch walks us through the complex behaviours involved in turning a shell into a home for 𝘓𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘴 #cichlidsci22

The behaviour session goes on with Cody Garcia, telling us about his cool work on behavioural tendencies in different Lake Tanganyika cichlids. #cichlidsci22

Starting off our next session on behavior is @JHerbertread with a great keynote on individual and collective perception in fishes 🐟#cichlidsci22

Continuing with crater lakes, great talk from Axel Meyer @EvoLab_Konstanz on the genomics of repeated adaptations and parallel speciation of Midas cichlids

Next up Dmytro Omelchenko (from @zuzmus fish-evo lab in Prague) shares his insights into the molecular basis of hypoxia adaptation in crater lake cichlids
