Jonah Ventures is assisting the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History to assemble and annotate >700 fish mitogenomes. Mitogenomes (and high copy nuclear sequences) are sequenced with genome skimming (shallow sequencing to capture repeated genetic elements) from voucher collections. Jonah is developing computational pipelines to better automate processes and publicly archiving results. Here is a circos... Read More

In order to provide continuous water-quality information for watersheds in the Allegheny River Basin, the Evergreen Conservancy collaborated with the Indiana County Emergency Management Agency in Indiana, Pennsylvania to install and maintain a Eureka Manta cellular telemetry water monitoring system in Indiana County. The telemetry systems are located at five sites to alert staff in... Read More
Bio fouling (or biological fouling) is the accumulation of microorganisms, plants, algae, or animals on wetted surfaces. Ajman Municipality, Environment Department, Natural Resources Conservation Section (ELARD), had installed six water quality monitoring stations using Eureka‘s technology. ELARD faced a myriad of problems to maintain and operate the water quality monitoring stations due to the extensive... Read More
