Awards from the Cornell Center for Vertebrate Genomics

We're thrilled to announce that the Therkildsen lab, in collaboration with Dr. Philipp Messer, has received seed funding from the Center for Vertebrae Genomics (CVG) at Cornell University for our research using historical DNA samples to characterize the genomic basis for fisheries-induced evolution in Atlantic cod.
 
Maria has also been awarded a CVG Scholars Program Award in support of her work on the cytogenomics of local adaptation in the Atlantic silverside. Congratulations to Maria!
