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

Just out:
A beautiful study by @RiceisReal that takes #PrairieVoles from the lab, to the field, and back to the lab to ask:

Does spatial cognition predict mating tactics, or vice versa? 🧵👇
