The first experimental work on immune testing of Ceratina okinawana was completed. The development of a new immune testing method was successful and allowed us to provide new insights into the relationship between social evolution and immune system biology through our comparison of social and solitary nests. This work is currently in review in Biology Letters. The second round of experiments on gene expression in Lasioglossum was a success after shifting to liquid nitrogen preservation. In addition, student Ha Nguyen went to Princeton University in the US for the sequencing stage of the project and completed sequencing at the Lewis Sigler Institute for Genomics. These data are currently being analysed. We additionally continued work on Ceratina Okinawana with some early sampling at the start of 2023 which will continue throughout the year with new Masters student Manolo Benitez.

Ceratina冲绳娜免疫测试的第一项实验工作是完成的。一种新的免疫测试方法的开发成功，使我们能够通过比较社会和孤独的巢穴来对社会进化与免疫系统生物学之间的关系提供新的见解。目前，这项工作正在生物学信件中进行审查。在转移到液氮保存后，第二轮对Lasioglossum基因表达的实验成功。此外，学生Ha Nguyen去了美国的普林斯顿大学，参加了该项目的测序阶段，并在Lewis Sigler基因组学研究所完成了测序。这些数据目前正在分析。此外，我们还继续在Ceratina Okinawana上工作，并在2023年初进行了一些早期抽样，这将在全年继续与新的大师学生Manolo Benitez一起继续进行。
