This webinar features the ARMOR model\, built in New York to streamline the process of boat inspections for invasive species management\, and a predictive model for Minnesota assessing the likelihood of overland transport of invasive mussels on recreational boats. \nPresenters:\n\nCathy McGlynn and John Marino\, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation\n\nNYSDEC Presentation\n\n\nMarc Frischer\, University of Georgia; Sandra Nierzwicki-Bauer and Jeremy Farrell\, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute\n\nARMOR Presentation\n\n\nNick Phelps\, University of Minnesota\n\nMAISRC Presentation URL:https://invasivemusselcollaborative.net/event/webinar-using-boater-data-to-inform-risk-models/ LOCATION:Online Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190502T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190502T120000 DTSTAMP:20240329T082345 CREATED:20190503T190316Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190503T190316Z UID:2577-1556794800-1556798400@invasivemusselcollaborative.net SUMMARY:Webinar: Invasive Mussel Genomics: Sequencing the Dreissenid Genome DESCRIPTION:https://invasivemusselcollaborative.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/IMC-Webinar_-Invasive-Mussel-Genomics_-Sequencing-the-Dreissenid-Genome-201905021500.mp4\nRecorded: May 2\, 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time \nThis webinar is part of a miniseries on the genomics of invasive mussels hosted by the Invasive Mussel Collaborative. Part two of the miniseries covers efforts by the University of Minnesota and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to sequence the genome of zebra and quagga mussels\, respectively. \nPresenters:\n\nYale Passamaneck\, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation\n\nYale Passamaneck is a biologist with the Bureau of Reclamation’s Technical Services Center in Denver. Yale studied marine biology as an undergraduate at UC Santa Cruz\, and did his graduate work in the MIT/Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint Program. Yale’s doctoral research focused on the evolutionary history of invertebrates\, including mollusks. He conducted postdoctoral research at Cornell Medical College and the University of Hawaii\, where he investigated the evolution and development of understudied invertebrate groups\, including tunicates\, sea anemones\, and brachiopods. Throughout his 20 years of research Yale has implemented tools leveraging genomic data and developed methods for transgenesis. Since joining the Bureau of Reclamation in 2015\, Yale has worked on the early detection and control of invasive dreissenid mussels\, developing both microscopic and molecular methods to improve detection.\n\n\nMichael McCartney\, University of Minnesota\n\nDr. McCartney’s past research focused on molecular ecology and evolution of marine and freshwater invertebrates and fishes\, with a focus on mollusks. From 2013-2018\, he led the zebra mussel research program in the Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center. Using population genetics\, genomics\, and ecological studies\, his first major project is describing source waters\, pathways\, and vectors of zebra mussel spread throughout Minnesota and the surrounding Great Lakes region\, to help AIS managers identify the highest-risk invasion routes. He also launched and serves as lead PI on the zebra mussel genome project—the subject of this presentation. In collaboration with the UMN Genomics Center and Supercomputing Institute\, he is currently analyzing and communicating results from both projects to researchers and managers. His future interests include properly mining the genome to develop genetic biocontrols.\n\n\n\n\nPresentations:\n\nYale Passamaneck: Sequencing the quagga mussel genome: A resource for developing biocontrols\nMichael McCartney: Presentation coming soon URL:https://invasivemusselcollaborative.net/event/webinar-invasive-mussel-genomics-sequencing-the-dreissenid-genome/ LOCATION:Online Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190308T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190308T160000 DTSTAMP:20240329T082345 CREATED:20190313T145629Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190402T160540Z UID:2481-1552057200-1552060800@invasivemusselcollaborative.net SUMMARY:Webinar: Invasive Mussel Genomics: Innovations for Control Methods DESCRIPTION:Recorded: March 8\, 3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time \nThis webinar is part of a miniseries on the genomics of invasive mussels hosted by the Invasive Mussel Collaborative. Part one of the miniseries covers the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s prize competition “Eradication of Invasive Mussels in Open Water.” The first prize awarded in this competition proposed a novel genetic modification-based method for control. \nPresenters:\n\nSherri Pucherelli\, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation\n\nSherri is a biologist and invasive species research coordinator with the Bureau of Reclamation in the Department of the Interior. Her research has focused on invasive mussel control at hydropower facilities and mussel monitoring.\n\n\nSteve Suhr and Marie-Claude Senut\, Biomilab\, LLC\n\nSteve Suhr obtained his BA degrees at the University of Kansas and his Ph.D in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Northwestern University. He has been a research fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Fred Gage at the Salk Institute\, the laboratory of Dr. Daniel Goldman at the University of Michigan\, and Dr. Jose Cibelli at Michigan State University. He was a research assistant professor in the Dept. of Animal Science at Michigan State and continues at MSU as adjunct faculty.Marie-Claude Senut earned her PhD in Molecular and Cellular Developmental Biology at the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie and subsequently held a tenured research position in the laboratory of Dr. Jean-Marie Besson in Paris\, France. She assumed research associate positions in the laboratory or Dr. Fred Gage at the Salk Institute\, the laboratory of Dr. Daniel Goldman at the University of Michigan\, the laboratories of Drs. Arshad Majid and Jose Cibelli at Michigan State University and the laboratory of Dr. Douglas Ruden at Wayne State University. She currently is MSU adjunct faculty in the Dept. of Animal Science.\nDrs. Suhr and Senut left academia in 2014 to found Biomilab LLC\, a hybrid business that combines the fee-for-service function of a Contract Research Organization (CRO) with in-house R&D aimed at discovering and developing new innovative research tools\, reagents\, and methods to advance the biosciences\, medicine\, and AgBio.\n\n\n\n  \nPresentations:\n\nSherri Pucherelli: Invasive Mussel Prize Competition\nSteve Suhr: Eradication of Invasive Quagga and Zebra Mussels using Engineered Disseminated Neoplasia URL:https://invasivemusselcollaborative.net/event/webinar-invasive-mussel-genomics-innovations-for-control-methods/ LOCATION:Online Webinar END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
