Ever wondered how did animals evolve? 🧬🦠 Our lab is on a quest to find the 'Magnificent 8' – eight lineages that remain unknown and that may be key to understand the origin of animals. Watch our new video (in Spanish!) to learn why we are focused on searching them!…
La semana pasada estuvo llena de actividad por la visita de Mike Martin @MuseumEvoGen, líder del Grupo de Investigación Holomuseomics de @NTNU, como parte de BigTree (bigtree-training.org) un programa con @MuseoHNUNMSM , seguiremos trabajando por nuestros estudiantes!
Invitados todos, una conferencia a cargo de Anais Zimmer del IRD una investigadora de los nuevos ecosistemas formados por la desglaciación, ella desde su doctorado colabora en investigaciones conjuntas. No dejen de ir y de difundir.

Out-of-this-world research is happening at @unlv! Life sciences master’s student Benjy Sedano-Herrera is studying tiny bacteria for keys to life beyond our planet, and he received the Forrest Shreve Research Award from @ESA_org for this work! unlv.edu/news/article/t…
Science Cafe is one week from today at McMullan's Irish Pub on Tropicana Ave. Come hear about how desert microbes change soil colors from Raul Roman, a postdoctoral scholar in the School of Life Sciences.
Honored to give a talk on comparative genomics of EPS in filamentous cyanobacteria at the PSA Meeting in Seattle. Huge thanks to my great mentor @DrylandAlgae,my collaborators @sanchez_baracal,Dr. Brian Hedlund,Dr. Mira Han, @JRaul_Roman et al. Thanks to @UNLV_GPSA @UNLV_CoS.
This week has been another whirlwind week! Nonetheless I need to say I am so darn grateful to be able to get into #biocrust research trouble w this amazing team w @desertmossgal @JRaul_Roman @KusibuMba @cyanoben7 et al in breathtaking #drylands.
Benjy Sedano-Herrera, a master's student in the school of life sciences, is researching cyanobacteria to understand how they adapt and thrive in extreme environments. Check out his story! unlv.edu/news/article/t…
Driven by a curiosity to understand the origin of life on Earth, @UNLV_CoS master’s student Benjy Sedano-Herrera is learning more about life beyond our planet in an unexpected way–through super small organisms known as cyanobacteria. unlv.edu/news/article/t…
Benjy Sedano-Herrera @cyanoben7 of @unlv is the Forrest Shreve Student Research Awardee for his work studying cyanobacteria in biological soil crusts of the Mojave and Chihuahuan Deserts👏

Zach Konkel built CLOCI to detect gene clusters based on the signatures of their evolutionary processes. Not just secondary metabolite clusters...all kinds of clusters. And of course we present fun new horizontal gene cluster transfers. academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…
So, I won! That's exciting, but here I am, with the Best Poster award for the EvolCompGen track at #ISMB2024! Thanks to everyone who contributed with feedback or ideas! Very thankful for this! A work done by peruvians in Peru with peruvian data 🇵🇪
