Edel obtained a BSc in Zoology from NUI Galway and subsequently worked as Project Assistant on the Mammals in a Sustainable Environment (MISE) Project – which fostered community involvement in mammal conservation through non-invasive survey techniques complemented with DNA analysis. Following this, Edel used DNA barcoding and microsatellite analyses to assess cephalopod stock composition in the NE Atlantic as part of the Cephs and Chefs project. Currently, she works within the Lawniczak research group at Wellcome Sanger Institute as Technical Specialist, focusing on the transfer of amplicon panels from various platforms to ONT.

Two squids: Alloteuthis media and Alloteuthis subulata are often confused throughout their range & although these species are fished, they cannot be assessed. This is addressed in a new paper in #MarineBiology https://rdcu.be/c5GbB (Open Access!) 🧵⤵️
📣#DarwinTreeOfLife has now assembled + released #genomes for 500 species🧬🌍
A #Christmas miracle? No, just lots of hard work from our partners @SangerToL @EarlhamInst @GenomeWytham @NHM_Science @TheBotanics @KewScience @SBSatEd @OxfordBiology @GeneticsCam @emblebi
Just a shout out that this research would not have been possible without the team @mariloubodde @LyndallPereira @petrathepostdoc @sasha_siegel @marakat. Over to @edel_sheerin now to make this dream a reality 🤩 https://twitter.com/SangerToL/status/1599707696453898242
"With our project, anyone, anywhere will be able to sequence locally (almost) in real-time."
