Genetics Unzipped podcast: Wired for sound – the genetics of music

Posted by , on 4 November 2021

Photo by Elina Sazonova from Pexels

In the latest episode of Genetics Unzipped, presenter Kat Arney is getting in harmony with the science of music. Is there a music gene? Does musical talent really run in families? And how does the inability to perceive music impact on daily life?

Music is a deeply human characteristic – whether it’s clapping, tapping, singing or playing, most of us love to listen – and maybe move – to good tune or a funky beat, and there are plenty of music makers in the world, from schoolkids playing the recorder or making beats on a laptop to virtuoso concert pianist and global pop stars. But where does our musical urge come from? And is it in our genes? 

Kat chats with Reyna Gordon. associate professor and director of the Music Cognition Lab in the Department of Otolaryngology and the Genetics Institute at Vanderbilt university in Tennessee. She’s the recipient of a prestigious NIH Director’s New Innovator Award for her work looking at the underlying biology of why rhythm means so much to us.

Our second guest is Jasmin Pfeifer, from Heinrich-Heine University in Dusseldorf, Germany. A linguist by training, Jasmin has found herself involved in the world of genetics through her studies of a condition called congenital amusia, or hereditary tone-deafness.

The Edinburgh Gallus Genome and Embryonic Development (EGGED) Workshop in 2022

Posted by , on 21 October 2021

Register your interest by October 31st 2021 for the Edinburgh Gallus Genome and Embryonic Development (EGGED) Workshop in 2022. EGGED 2022 will run on the 12-15th of July 2022 at The Roslin Institute and R(D)SVS, Easter Bush Campus, The University of Edinburgh. Full registration will open in due course and spaces will be limited due to the nature of the workshop.

The EGGED 2022 Workshop will provide hands-on training for developmental biologists that use or would like to use the chicken embryo in their research. Instruction will include fundamental techniques, ex ovo culture, and imaging to advances in transgenics, gene editing, and genomics and using the chicken embryo to teach developmental biology. This practical workshop is open to researchers with a range of experience; from students and early career researchers to group leaders and principal investigators. The workshop will also provide an opportunity for scientists to share, learn and develop embryological techniques that use chicken embryos.

The UKRI-BBSRC funded Roslin Institute and the National Avian Research Facility (NARF) have developed globally unique chicken resources, including a range of transgenic fluorescent reporter chicken lines. EGGED will bring together the world’s embryology experts to share their skills and showcase these exceptional resources. To date, speakers for EGGED 2022 include; Prof Marian Ros, Prof Claudio Stern, Prof Tatjana Sauka-Spengler, Prof Neil Vargesson, Dr Raman Das, Dr Hervé Acloque, Dr Ben Steventon, Dr Jérôme Gros, Dr Mike McGrew, Dr Jacqueline Smith, Dr Joe Rainger, Dr Adam Balic, and Dr Denis Headon.

From left to right; 1) Whole head cross-section (x10) of a Chameleon transgenic chicken embryo, with cells either labelled in blue, red, green or cyan. 2) GFP chicken embryo with a ‘red’ graft placed into the limb bud with micro-surgery. The graft is about 50-100uM. 3) Dorsal Root Ganglion of the nervous system of a Chameleon transgenic chicken embryo. Nerves going into the dorsal root ganglion are red, and nerves coming out are green.

A Royal Society of Edinburgh Saltire Facilitation Network Award has been awarded to The Roslin Institute, R(D)SVS and the NARF, both based at The University of Edinburgh Easter Bush Campus, to hold these practical workshops in both 2022 and 2023. EGGED is also supported by The Company of Biologists, including support towards making the meeting sustainable.

We also aim to document the specialist skills demonstrated at the EGGED workshops and make them available online as an important developmental biology community resource.

EGGED is held in memory of Dr Donald Ede, a graduate of the University of Edinburgh, a talented chicken embryologist and member of the RSE, who passed away in 2018.

Event organisers are Dr Megan G Davey (The Roslin Institute, R(D)SVS) and Dr Lindsay Henderson (The Roslin Institute, NARF). Read more on the EGGED website and register your interest here.

Genetics Unzipped podcast: Rarities and oddities – the strangest genetics stories of 2021

Posted by , on 21 October 2021

Photo by Andrea Piacquadio from Pexels

In the latest episode of Genetics Unzipped, presenter Kat Arney is squelching through the Californian mud, swimming with platypuses, bearing witness to daylight robbery and even finding time to catch an episode of Star Trek as she looks back on some of the most mind-blowing stories from the world of genetics in 2021.

We meet the Borgs – huge genetic elements in archaea that can assimilate genes from their neighbours – and discover how whitefly pulled off a genetic theft that enabled them to become one of the world’s most destructive agricultural pests.

We hear how researchers are developing mirror-image DNA polymerases that can make mirror-image DNA – perfect for long-term, stable data storage. Then there’s the strange discovery that hundreds of viruses use a DNA base called 2-aminoadenine, known as Z, instead of the usual adenine (A), with big implications for our understanding of the genetic code as we know it.

And finally, we take a dive into the duck-billed platypus genome, to discover what these mysterious monotremes can teach us about mammalian evolution.

Genetics Unzipped is the podcast from The Genetics Society. Full transcript, links and references available online at GeneticsUnzipped.com.

The event will include selected short and long talks presented at the Plenary Sessions via Zoom. Thanks to our sponsors, the best talks and posters will receive a prize. In addition to the presentations, there will be time for discussion and mixing between researchers at all career stages during the two interactive Poster Sessions (held in the Hopin platform). You can take a look at the programme for more details.

In this DrosTuga 2021 edition, we will have the pleasure of listening to two great Keynote Speakers. Their exciting work spans a broad range of topics of interest to our community: Isabel Palacios and Nicolas Gompel. Besides our speakers research, we will have the opportunity of talking about outreach and the importance of Drosophila studies in science.

Attendance is FREE, but registration is compulsory.

NEW Abstract submission deadline for posters only: 7th November 2021 (23:59h GMT+1). Click here to submit your abstract. The deadline for short and long talks is now closed (24th October 2021).

Registration deadline: 24th November 2021 (23:59h GMT+1). Click here for registration.

Looking forward seeing all you there!

The Organising Committee:
