From: Sophie Tandonnet Subject: Other: Invitation to contribute - Non-model Organisms Collection Dear Evolutionary Community, As a Guest Editor for JoVE, I am organizing a Topical Collection on Emerging Model Organisms ( https://app.jove.com/methods-collections/4483/emerging-approaches-for-non-model-organisms-challenges-and-innovations). We're aiming to cover experimental approaches currently used to study non-model organisms including data collection, functional experiments (CRISPR, RNAi), nucleic acid extraction protocols, sampling strategies, bioinformatics pipelines and imaging techniques. JoVE is the leading peer-reviewed scientific methods video journal, aimed at increasing the visibility and reproducibility of research. JoVE's team takes care of the entire process of filming and producing your video ( https://www.jove.com/authors/publication). This Collection will hold a record of techniques used to study non-model organisms, for which standard protocols often require adaptation, and help establish reproducible best practices for the community. We envision it as the go-to methods resource for researchers working in evolutionary and comparative biology for years to come. Would you be interested in contributing to this collection? If so, I would be happy to discuss a potential abstract submission with you (email me at sophie.tandonnet@ub edu). Please also feel free to forward this invitation to colleagues or labs who may be interested. I look forward to hearing from you!
