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 new trout genome with an genome size of 2.37Gb is out and about. Sequenced as part of the #sanger25genomes project and #vgp @SangerToL @genomeark https://twitter.com/genomeark/status/1351816949538426881

Fantastic news from @sangerinstitute! The UK hub of the @darwintreelife has purchased 7 new Sequel IIe Systems, to add to their 5 current Sequel Systems. They plan to sequence ~2,000 plant & animal genomes in the next 2 yrs! http://ow.ly/z3qr50D4K20
