Exciting times with my GVB students at #ISSBAT, #University_Tunis_El_Manar! This hands-on workshop introduced participants to the power of bioinformatics and next-generation sequencing (NGS) in conservation biology.

đź’ˇ What we covered:
âś… DNA extraction and sequencing using #Bento_Lab & #MinION
âś… Real-time analysis with #Oxford_Nanopore_technologies
âś… Exploring biodiversity and monitoring endangered species with cutting-edge tools

The enthusiasm and curiosity of the students were incredible! 🌍💪 These innovative approaches will pave the way for better conservation strategies in Tunisia and beyond.

Looking forward to more workshops and expanding these skills across different research areas! 🚀🔍
