High-level gene expression patterns in hybrid species are consistent across fungi, plants and animals, reflecting common responses to hybridisation regardless of species or even kingdom #openaccess

And that’s a wrap, folks! Ganley Lab had their last lab “meeting” for the year!! 🎄 🎁
We saw some ups and downs this year with virtual conferences in lockdown and (many) failed experiments. Nevertheless, we soldiered on!
Merry Christmas and happy summer to you all!!

A shoutout to @AlastairHarris6 who has handed in his PhD thesis on the effects of sound on yeast fermentation. We are really excited to see what he’s doing in the coming months with his distillery. We wish you the best with your endeavours! 🍻

Another shoutout to Emma Macdonald @ems368 who handed in her Masters thesis on rDNA copy number variation in mammalian lineages. She’s making the leap into the corporate world next year and we wish her all the very best! 📊📈

We are absolutely over the moon to receive a #MarsdenFund this year! 😆 🎉
Our project, “Where lies the treasure? Using random DNA to find the functional regions of genomes.” aims to not only pioneer techniques in synthesising long double-stranded random DNA (1/2)

Kia ora koutou! Results from the 2021 round have been announced. Congratulations to all this year's #MarsdenFund awardees royalsociety.org.nz/news/mar…

But also integrate these random DNA fragments into eukaryotic genomes and assess their interactions with cellular machinery. In doing so, we hope to answer some key questions surrounding genomic sequence functionality (2/2).
Thank you for your support 😊

Who else stayed up last night to watch the announcement for this year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine?
Congratulations to David Julian and Ardem Patapoutian for their discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch.

Spooktober Day 4: You input the thermal cycling protocol a vital PCR, chant the appropriate incantations and bless the machine with nuclease-free water. You then proceed to remove your lab coat, wash your hands and head out, when you remember: “Did I add BOTH primers?” 💀 💀 💀

Spooktober is upon us! So we’re sharing scary moments from the lab. To kick of the month:
“Oh no, did I change pipette tips between samples?!” 😱

Are you interested in the evolution of antibiotic resistance and want to do a PhD (in Auckland, NZ)? I have a Marsden funded project and am looking for an enthusiastic student. Please retweet, details here: findathesis.auckland.ac.nz/r…

With Auckland currently in lockdown, no one from the lab is able to access their experiments @AucklandUni, so some of us are making Lab magazine covers on @BioRender
