We are going to discuss a paper about axial patterning in Trichechus this week.

We will have the next “EvoDevo Journal Club” again on Thursday 12th at 14.15 in room 3513 (! new room !). This week we are going to discuss a paper of Chartier et al. about floral morphospace.

A comprehensive metatranscriptome analysis pipeline and its validation using human small intestine microbiota datasets

For this week's journal club, we have a paper on robustly estimating microbial diversity from NGS data, a topic that is probably relevant for a lot of us.

Robust estimation of microbial diversity in theory and in practice

This weeks paper: “Replication levels, false presences and the estimation of the presence/absence from eDNA metabarcoding data”

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.
