Iliana Bista, PhD
Postdoctoral Fellow
I am working as a PostDoc on the Vertebrates Genomes Project (VGP) at the Sanger Institute, 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.

The #genome sequence of the channel bull blenny (Cottoperca gobio) and Ensembl #gene annotation will aid analysis of notothenioid #fish species, which are increasingly under threat due to #ClimateChange.

Our new @genomeark paper on high-quality vertebrate mitogenome assembly using both long and short reads is out! https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.06.30.177956v2 @ArangRhie @erichjarvis @aphillippy
Looking forward to organizing this exciting virtual symposium on Monday!

Save the Date: Within-Individual Genome Variation and Germline/Soma Distinction. Originally planned for #SMBE2020, this symposium will be happening virtually next week. Stay tuned for a special issue of GBE on this topic. Registration is free but required: https://buff.ly/2YmoxF0
