Dr Iliana Bista, PhD

Alumni
This person is a member of Sanger Institute Alumni.
Over the past few years I have been working on the Vertebrates Genomes Project (VGP) and Tree of Life at the Sanger Institute and University of Cambridge, sequencing reference quality genomes across vertebrate species with particular focus on fish. Additionally I am investigating the genome evolution of the Antarctic notothenioid fish radiation.
Past and continuous activities involve exploring biodiversity of freshwater and marine ecosystems using High Throughput Sequencing applications like metabarcoding of environmental DNA (eDNA) and metagenomics.

Last fall, the Japanese government decided to relax entry restrictions significantly. Following that, The eDNA Society immediately began planning our international conference. Sorry for the late notice, but the conference website is now live! https://edna2023.com/
I am delighted our new ancient DNA study on the Aegean is now published @NatureEcoEvo! https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-022-01952-3
I want to thank all the coauthors and colleagues from @MPI_EVA_Leipzig, the institutions in Greece, Germany, and North America for being part of this study! https://twitter.com/MPI_EVA_Leipzig/status/1615016275540938752
