Very excited to share our <<most extensive set of stable reference genes>> for Octopus 🐙 vulgaris!!! #octopus #transcriptome #RTqPCR #neuroscience #centralnervoussystem #arm #peripheralnervoussystem #molecularfingerprints @SznDohrn @DiBio_UniPD Read more👇
Our new paper on the Identification of stable reference genes (RGs) in adult Octopus vulgaris 🐙 🧬 is now out in Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience @FrontNeurosci (frontiersin.org/articles/10.…) #octopus #invertebrates #molluscs 1/5

Finally our preferred and beloved Octopus  vulgaris🐙 has a "chromosome-scale 🧬 genome"!!! 🤩 Thanks to @EasiGenomics funding with  @EveSeuntjens & Oleg Simakov @conchoecia @daliladest @Ruth_Styfhals @gfocto  @SznDohrn @univienna @KU_Leuven @cnag_eu Read more👇
Happy to share our latest research on octopuses! 🐙 Our new chromosome-scale Octopus vulgaris genome just came out @biorxivpreprint ! 🧵 below 1/8 Link to the preprint is here:biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Picture credit @PonteGiov

Amazing personal and professional way to realize how a simple interdisciplinary NETWORK makes you understand that we all are
CONNECTED! #COSTactions #NetworkingWorks #Science #Europe #Research #Cephalopod #Octopus #Neuroscience #challenges #ideas
#Cephalopods (octopuses, squids, cuttlefish) are truly remarkable & intelligent animals 🐙 @PonteGio @CephsInAction share insights into the world of #octopuses, their significance, the importance of protecting these amazing creatures, & this network's impact 👇 #COSTactions

The results are Amazing because are in direct proportion to your efforts @Ruth_Styfhals CONGRATS 🎉
Happy to share our work on the mysterious cell types in the octopus brain – now out in @NatureComms (go.nature.com/3ufIDjl). Read more below about what is new in the published version. 1/7

#Denmark is building an artificial island that will house up to 600 wind turbines and provide enough #wind power for the entire country. We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateAction #ClimateEmergency #renewableenergy #GreenNewDeal

we are also incomplete and can’t exist without the other ~38 trillion bacteria collectively called #microbiome living in harmony with us. bit.ly/33yY9Nr viruses are many fold higher. This is what #evolution can do given enough time. @elonmusk go.nature.com/3JCfB30
So amazing that we decompress from a single cell to over 30 trillion cells

H. Judkins presented a very interesting talk entitled "Molecular tools are contributing to the discovery of new cephalopod species in the northern Gulf of Mexico". Also we had a talk by M. Moldovan about Adaptive evolution at mRNA editing sites in soft-bodied cephalopods.

Today I gave a lecture on the evolution of the nervous system for @cephres tomorrow I will give one on the cells of ecosystem functioning for the @EMarineBoard : two VERY different types of cells for very different audiences! An effort towards holistic Science! Lots of fun
Introductory Lecture was presented by Ferdinando Boero entitled "Nervous Cnidarians started it all…" followed by another amazing talk entitled "A tale around Napoli, Honorary Citizens and our beloved Cephalopods: A StoryTelling" by Kate Moore. #CephRes2020 #CephRes
