Welcome!
I'm Amanda Stahlke (she/her), an Assistant Professor of Biology at Colorado Mesa University in beautiful Grand Junction, CO.
As an instructor, I work to activate multiple learning modalities, facilitate authentic investigations, reward social and technical skill-building, and ignite curiosity with engaging, relevant problems. This Fall, I'm teaching BIOL101, BIOL101L, and BIOL105L. The Stahlke Lab investigates genome biology rooted in management objectives. We are equipped with wet lab, field, bioinformatics, and statistical tools to gather data and test hypotheses that inform management decisions on the ground. Here you can find short descriptions of ongoing and previous research projects, contact information, and my CV. |

Our high quality reference genomes of both the northern and subtropical tamarisk beetles, Diorhabda carinulata and D. sublineata, now have publicly available genome browsers and high quality annotations thanks to i5k at the USDA National Agricultural Library, Ag100Pest at USDA Agricultural Research Service, and the NCBI Eukaryotic Annotation pipeline! X and Y chromosomes included!

Our paper "polishCLR: a Nextflow workflow for polishing PacBio CLR genome assemblies)", is available online at Genome Biology and Evolution at https://doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evad020! PolishCLR is containerized and publicly available (https://github.com/isugifNF/polishCLR) for the greater assembly community as a tool to complete assemblies from existing, error-prone long-read data.
