Last year's ConGen course was at the Cheetah Conservation Reserve. This video provides one of the Cheetah rescue and release stories. Importantly, it gives info on one of the ways CCF helps farmers avoid conflict with cheetahs. #congen #conservation #genetics
Leveraging historical genomics can inform smarter conservation strategies amid taxonomic uncertainty and extirpation.

Week 2 of tree planting and the end is in sight for our Pennsylvania common garden of black ash. However, the team travels to New York next week for more…..because #morecommongardens is always more awesome! #congen #treeplanting
Four days, 2400 black ash seedlings later - we are over half way!! #teamash is the epitome of #teamworkdreamwork (and should maybe start their own chorus line) #fieldworkshenanigans #commongarden #congen @krlopicc.bsky.social @diegodelorbe.bsky.social
Day 2 of the PI taking selfies and photos while everyone works really hard #blackash #commongarden #congen. It’s a little wet out here!!
Day One, Block 1 of 8 complete with about 500 black ash seedlings snug in their permanent home in the ground #happyplanters #happytrees #commongarden #congen. Now for a little back recovery with stretching before round two tomorrow #achyPI
Thank you so much to @hayleytumas.bsky.social for visiting this week, giving an awesome seminar, judging posters, and hanging with @krlopicc.bsky.social and I in the greenhouse to see our burgeoning ash forest!! #ashapalooza #congen
First day with meetings on the implementation of genetic 🧬indicators for biodiversity monitoring has started.
🦇🦋🐙🦀🐟🐅🦌🦡🌲🌱🍄🟫🌸
Feels good to see the wonderful colleagues again + even better when the rest has arrived.

Help! Is anyone else finding batch effects between whole genome sequences generated with Illumina NovaSeq6000 vs NovaSeqX?
Any suggestions or solutions would be hugely appreciated! 🙏

To support conservation practitioners in identifying appropriate tools to inform conservation management, we review opportunities, challenges, and costs associated with available and emerging #ConGen tools, including #pedigrees, #microsatellites, #genomes, #eDNA, #aDNA, #pangenomes and more! 2/7
Check out the latest paper from our lab quantifying stock-specific impacts of bycatch on albatross. We used WGS and GT-seq to assess stock structure and assign birds back to their colonies of origin. Certain colonies were disproportionately represented in bycatch. #congen #genomics shorturl.at/B4q0z
This finding shows that the Addo buffalo population has unique genetic diversity compared to other South African populations, so conserving it is NB for overall genetic diversity in SA, & beyond actually. #congen
Our new #OpenAccess paper is out! Cape buffalo mitogenomics 🐃🧬 We found a highly divergent lineage in Addo Elephant National Park in #SouthAfrica, which has conservation implications! #congen
Where did it come from? We pull out a map & speculate wildly! Jk, more below...

Woohoo! Woke up to a manuscript acceptance - congrats to Lauren Schiebelhut and all my #ConGen colleagues on this superb review article, coming soon to Molecular Ecology Resources. 1 down, 12 manuscripts in review/revision to go y’all! Let’s hope it all comes through by the end of the year.
