A principios de diciembre estará en la Estación Biológica de Doñana Antton Alberdi, Investigador de la Universidad de Copenague e invitado de Carlos Ibañez. Antton estará en la EBD los días 3 y 4, y dará el martes 3 a las 13:00 en la sala de Juntas la charla "Hologenomics: a novel systemic approach for vertebrate evolution, ecology and conservation research". Parte de la charla será sobre el proyecto (Earth Hologenome Initiave https://anttonalberdi.github.io/earthhologenome/) del que es coordinador. El objetivo general de este proyecto es crear una amplia red de investigadores para emparejar datos genómicos de vertebrados con datos metagenómicos de microbiota asociada, y le gustaría contactar con posibles colaboradores para añadir muestras de diversas especies de vertebrados al proyecto. Si estáis interesados y queréis hablar con él durante los días que esté por aquí poneros en contacto con Carlos Ibañez (ibanez@ebd.csic.es).

Good afternoon,
Next week we will welcome Antton Alberdi, Researcher at the University of Copenhagen, and invited by Carlos Ibañez . Antton will be at the EBD the 3rd and 4th of December and will give the talk "Hologenomics: a novel systemic approach for vertebrate evolution, ecology and conservation research" (Tuesday 3rd at 13:00h, Sala de Juntas). During his talk he will talk about a new project (Earth Hologenome Initiave https://anttonalberdi.github.io/earthhologenome/) that he is coordinating. The initial goal of this project is to build a large research network to generate geographically expansive coupled host genome and microbial metagenome data from 10,000 animals belonging to 100 European vertebrate species. He is really interested in meeting potential collaborators, so if you think you might be interested, please contact Carlos Ibañez (ibanez@ebd.csic.es)

Hologenomics: a novel systemic approach for vertebrate evolution, ecology and conservation research
Microorganisms associated to complex organisms are not longer considered passive passengers but active crew, who can affect and even condition a myriad of biological processes of their hosts. Although such effects have been so far mainly explored in applied contexts (e.g. medicine, agrisciences), an increasing amount of evidence is indicating that they could also be relevant in basic ecological and evolutionary processes. The hologenomic approach I will introduce in this talk takes advantage of the newly developed high-throughput DNA/RNA sequencing methods, to study host-microbiota interactions at different ‘omic levels (e.g. genomes, transcriptomes), and eventually understand their impact on eco-evolutionary processes such as acclimation, adaptation or speciation. In this talk, I will present basic concepts about the host-microbiota interplay and introduce the work we are carrying out on the topic, before providing an overview of the research approaches we are using on chickens, deers, shrews, mice, wolves and toothcarps, among others, to address different ecologically and evolutionary relevant topics. I will also introduce the Centre for Evolutionary Hologenomics that will kick off in Copenhagen in early 2020, and I will encourage researchers to join the Earth HoloGenome Initiative (EHI), an endeavour we are now launching aiming at promoting, facilitating, coordinating and standardising hologenomic research on wild organisms worldwide. In the initial phase of EHI, we are coordinating a large research network to generate geographically expansive coupled host genome and microbial metagenome data from 10,000 animals belonging to 100 European vertebrate species, aiming at addressing major questions regarding adaptation to climate change and disease transmission, among others.
