#GenomicsAtSea! It’s been a while since I’ve used twitter but a trip on the #OceanXplorer with @oceanx to teach #MarineGenomics at sea during the #YoungExplorersProgram seems like a good reason to get back on 🌊🧬⛴ #GMGI

Link to the full text of our newly published study: "The American lobster genome reveals insights on longevity, neural, and immune adaptations" 🦞🧬 https://t.co/gA9UurbgIx

We did it! We published the lobster genome! 🦞🧬 A link to the publication itself will follow https://t.co/gYXqFakBdz

Excited to start applying all the techniques learned this week to my own data! 🧬💻

Started a little instagram project for sharing my dive photos and fun facts about the featured critters. Check it out! https://t.co/YSSKFLeg85

Last night’s #GMGI #ScienceHour featuring Dr. Bruce Walker was very interesting and informative! Go to https://t.co/184PuyY1hB to register for upcoming Science Hour webinars and watch previous ones on a variety of exciting science topics

The long-lived red sea urchin (I used to collect these lovelies) is emerging in the study of #longevity, negligible #senescence, and tissue regeneration. Congrats to @JMPolinski and the GMGI team on publishing this groundbreaking work! https://t.co/lFdCle7jMN @InnovateGlosta

I submitted one of my recent dive photos to the #oceanconservancy #photocontest. Please vote for it! @OurOcean #winterflounder #newenglanddiving

It’s not too late to register for tonight’s #GMGI webinar! Join us virtually to hear from scientist David Wiley, as he talks about the technologies his team uses to understand humpback whales’ unique underwater behavior. Click here to register: https://t.co/eheG2OGubA

By comparing young and old individuals, we uncovered unique patterns of aging in nervous tissues of red sea urchins - among the longest lived animals on earth (~200 years) #GMGI #marinescience #transcriptomics https://t.co/EFCcSM3tQg

Thanks to all who attended and presented at tonight’s Benchtop NGS mini user group meeting and happy hour. Some excellent ideas were shared. Illumina researchers are doing amazing things! Chris Benton @RyanHegarty13 @ianherriott @JMPolinski

Hot off the press! #GMGI Metabarcoding assessment of diversity in sediments from Stellwagen Bank NMS -

It’s never easy to say goodbye! Last month #GMGI received 4 rare #lobsters from local lobstermen. The beauty of #genomics is that it doesn’t take much - we’ve taken samples so now it’s time to return these beauties to the sea 🦞

Joshua Rosenthal of @MBLScience wraps up the science sessions of #GMGI19 with RNA editing in the cephalopod nervous system 🐙

Gary Wessel of @BrownUniversity suggests GMGI change its name to GMGISUSS (Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute of sea urchins and sea stars) as he discusses germ line formation in the two organisms #GMGI19

GMGI’s new microbial scientist, Matthew Harke, delves into his postdoc work on symbiosis between a diatom and bacteria, using transcriptomics to uncover diurnal patterns. 🦠🧬 Great job, Matt! #gmgi19 #GMGIScienceForum

Great job @JMPolinski !! #proudadvisor

“Nobody goes to the Great Marsh to see the microbes, and that’s a real shame” - Jennifer Bowen of @Northeastern Marine Science Center helping us appreciate the little things #GMGI19 #GMGIScienceForum

Probiotics aren’t just for people - Diana Kapareiko of @NOAAFisheries is using helpful microbes to grow oyster larvae #GMGI19 #GMGIScienceForum
