We had a great turnout for the @EAFP_news fish pathogen genomics workshop earlier this week! The participants went from command line basics to identifying and characterising a bacterial species causing disease in fish from a whole genome sequencing dataset.

✅ 4th progress meeting completed last week! The team reviewed milestones achieved and charted a course for the next phase. 🎯Future goals are ambitious, but we’re ready to tackle them! #AnimalHealth #AnimalWelfare #Aquaculture #Sustainability #BlueEconomy

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
