Friday seminar by Arnaud Le Rouzic. NEW TIME: 12.15

This week we’ll move away from the opisthokonts, and will talk about a group of rhizarian parasites; the phytomyxids.

At the parasite journal club this week we will try again to discuss the myxozoans,  a weird group of parasites within the opisthokonts. They are a strange group of microscopic sized metazoans related to the Cnidaria, and are found in aquatic habitats where they act as parasites of fish, amphibians, reptiles and rarely invertebrates.

The paper we will discuss on Thursday will be presented by Håvard.

Friday seminar by Annelise Binois 

This week we will discuss another weird group of parasites within the opisthokonts, the myxozoans. They are a strange group of microscopic sized metazoans related to the Cnidaria, and are found in aquatic habitats where they act as parasites of fish, amphibians, reptiles and rarely invertebrates.

This Thursday (6th of November) we will talk more about Illumina sequencing. The paper from last time that compares Illumina with Ion Torrent (Salipante et al. 2014) will be discussed this week.  We also want to discuss a paper that have used the Illumina platform to look at microbial community composition and diversity (Sinclair et al. 2014).
