New FNRS project at LEAP

We are pleased to announce that the research project entitled “Epigenome stability in mangrove rivulus” has been funded by FNRS. It aims to assess the stability of DNA methylation over time in a highly homozygous and isogenic population of the mangrove rivulus, Kryptolebias marmoratus. It will address two major limitations of ecoepigenetic studies. Firstly, it…

Ivan Blanco is our new PhD student

Congratulations to Ivan Blanco who will work in LEAP for the next four years to achieve a PhD thesis on the mangrove rivulus. Ivan just obtained a grant from the FNRS (FRIA) to work on the mating system of the self-fertilizing fish mangrove rivulus. In this species, hermaphrodites can either self-fertilize or outcross with a…
