Just out: @EhrenBentz provides a high-quality annotated long read #PacBio genome assembly of the #AfricanGiantPouchedRat.
Key result:
These mine-detecting rodents have one of the largest olfactory receptor repertoires of any animal! @ELS_Genetics

Episode #5 is out now! 💫
This week we're speaking with @NhPrior about social relationships, and the link between neural mechanisms and social behavior!
We also talk about scholar activism and community building in research!
Wherever you find #podcasts!
Today we release a chrom-length assembly for the Southern giant pouched rat, Cricetomys ansorgei, via collaborative effort with @EhrenBentz & @alexophir@OphirLab@Cornell! Read about this medal-winning species with insane physiology in blog post below:
