Pleased to present "genome assembly for the Australian alpine skink Bassiana duperreyi" https://t.co/7DIsMGUBEg . High heterozygosity, centromeric satellites of 187 & 199bp, rDNA at ~15kb. Great resource for sex determination and chromosome evolution in skinks and other lizards
Q: What could GO WRONG with a major cancer genomics study in which tumours are sequenced to only 15x depth?
A: An awful LOT! 😟
Our detailed reanalysis now out in @RSocPublishing:

Happy to share our new paper “Transcriptome free energy can serve as a dynamic patient-specific biomarker in acute myeloid leukemia”. A fantastic collaboration with @rrockne, @lisauechi, @SwethaVasudeva4, and the @cityofhope researchers. @Nature_NPJ

Out today!
We create a CML potential landscape from time-series whole transcriptome data and use math modeling to predict disease onset and treatment response from a single pre-disease time point.

Museum collections provide some of the most important data to help us understand and predict what is happening under a changing climate. However, our collections pre-date electronic databases by hundreds of years so how do we know what we have?
It was fantastic to hand over the final copy of my thesis to my primary supervisor. A massive thank to my supervisors and collaborators for everything during this epic journey, with @ardynasios@HolleleyClare @j9deakin @MVLizards@joanna_sumner99@DenisOMeally
Check out our new paper in @ScienceAdvances! We show that the microRNA (miR) transcriptome undergoes a state-transition during AML development. Here's a thread on the main take aways on how we used the state-space to learn about AML.

So pleased to publicly release the first 116 koala genomes on @AWS today! Huge effort from our team @KathyBelov@lukesilver20 Konnie, Kim, @ellemclennan & researchers who provided samples! Thanks @Matt_KeanMP @sussanley for funding. @Sydney_Science https://t.co/DDY8Wce5ze
