Ganley Lab

High-level gene expression patterns in hybrid species are consistent across fungi, plants and animals, reflecting common responses to hybridisation regardless of species or even kingdom #openaccess @TheAtavism @GanleyLab 👉ow.ly/qhhK50JY1R0

Another shoutout to Emma Macdonald @ems368 who handed in her Masters thesis on rDNA copy number variation in mammalian lineages. She’s making the leap into the corporate world next year and we wish her all the very best! 📊📈

A shoutout to @AlastairHarris6 who has handed in his PhD thesis on the effects of sound on yeast fermentation. We are really excited to see what he’s doing in the coming months with his distillery. We wish you the best with your endeavours! 🍻

And that’s a wrap, folks! Ganley Lab had their last lab “meeting” for the year!! 🎄 🎁 We saw some ups and downs this year with virtual conferences in lockdown and (many) failed experiments. Nevertheless, we soldiered on! Merry Christmas and happy summer to you all!!

Congratulations Prof. Constantine! 🎉 🐳

@marinaklemm Two very competent and knowledgeable monkeys for sure! 🐵🐵 🥼

What is it about talking about my own research - which I've been doing for 3 years and I'm an expert on - to a senior professor that makes me feel like I'm 2 monkeys on top of each other wearing a coat 😅

We are super stoked to have our lab head Dr. Austen Ganley presenting a talk, and Emma Macdonald @ems368 (Research Assistant) and Atharva Bhide @Gloomy_Halloumi (Masters student) presenting their research posters at @faobmb2021!!

We have Xmas trees and we have baubles! Who wants to help with decorations? 🧫: @omgfionawolf 🦠: Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Hello all! We’d like to thank everyone for their good wishes for Ganley Lab being given a #marsdenfund. Please note, Atharva (@Gloomy_Halloumi) runs the Twitter account so he/I will let Austen know about your kind comments and messages of congratulation!

@shotliverfreak Hi there, I’m one of Austen’s Masters students and my name is Atharva (@Gloomy_Halloumi). I run the lab Twitter. I will definitely let Austen know of your well wishes! Cheers 😊

@GanleyLab Congratulations Austen!

We are absolutely over the moon to receive a #MarsdenFund this year! 😆 🎉 Our project, “Where lies the treasure? Using random DNA to find the functional regions of genomes.” aims to not only pioneer techniques in synthesising long double-stranded random DNA (1/2)

@SimoneLinz @ppgardne Thank you!!

@Jaylene74 Hi there, I’m Atharva (@Gloomy_Halloumi), one of Austen’s Masters students and I run this account. Thank you for the kind wishes. I will definitely pass them on to Austen. 😊

@GanleyLab You have a lab!!! Congrats Austen

@MajPadamsee Thank you!!

@GanleyLab Congratulations!!

@MMEG_UoA Hi Rochelle/Constantine Lab, one of the Master’s students (Atharva @Gloomy_Halloumi) runs the Twitter and not Austen himself, but I will happily say yes to an OGH drink on his behalf 😂

@jmrbrock I usually cider but you’ll see me IPAing too (Atharva)

@GanleyLab I beer, do you beer? We should all beer. I think they beer as well…

@jmrbrock Yes most definitely! (Please can we use “beer” as a verb more often?).

@GanleyLab Must celebrate over beers when we can once again beer!

@jmrbrock Thank you!!

@GanleyLab Congrats Austen and team! 🍾🍻

@nzkatj @BashiriLab @EmmaLScotter @cmjonestodd @AucklandUni Thank you so much!!

@BashiriLab @EmmaLScotter @cmjonestodd @GanleyLab @AucklandUni incredible! missed that one!! @GanleyLab bloody well done to you too!

So excited for my colleagues @EmmaLScotter @cmjonestodd and Ghader Bashiri - all successful in this round of Marsden Grants bringing in $2.3 million between them! What an incredible success for research within the School of Biological Science, UoA!!

@BashiriLab @nzkatj @EmmaLScotter @cmjonestodd @AucklandUni Congratulations to you too! So glad to see SBS getting the attention and support it truly deserves. We have a bright future to look forward to 😊

@nzkatj @EmmaLScotter @cmjonestodd Thank you so much Kathryn, and big congrats also to @GanleyLab and Prof. Ant Poole of the School of Biological Sciences @AucklandUni.

But also integrate these random DNA fragments into eukaryotic genomes and assess their interactions with cellular machinery. In doing so, we hope to answer some key questions surrounding genomic sequence functionality (2/2). Thank you for your support 😊
