The southern marsupial mole now has a reference genome! Great work for the team

[Andrew Pask @AJ_Pask]

We are excited to announce the first complete genome sequencing and assembly of the southern marsupial mole by @aj_pask @sfberg @OMGenomes @BioplatformsAus @CharlieFeigin @BioSci_UniMelb N50 20Mb & BUSCO recovery of 93%. We can't wait to learn more about this enigmatic marsupial.

It’s a great day. Our second southern brown bandicoot in our long term research sites this year, and it’s a mum!!
We have not had a SBB on any of our sites since 2013, so this second one is great news indeed.
Hope you day is as good as our field team is having.

[Prof. Euan Ritchie (@euanritchie.bsky.social) @EuanRitchie1]

Ok, when was the last time @abcnews had two lead stories about the conservation of native Australian rodents, on the same day?! I'll say never, and hence that this is a great day!

[Bioplatforms Australia @BioplatformsAus]

Amazing effort underpinning the brand new publication led by @Emily_Roycroft and supported through our @OMGenomes initiative. This project investigated the rapid decline and extinction of Australian rodents, links to the publication available in Emily's thread

[Dr Emily Roycroft @Emily_Roycroft]

Out today in @PNASNews! Our paper on the rapid collapse of extinct Australian rodents since European colonisation + resurrection of extinct Gould’s mouse https://t.co/DsroEO41BU Big news for #ozrodents! @Dr_AnnaM @bertieportela @MVMammals @OMGenomes @BioPlatformsAus A thread /1

[The Australian Mammal Society @AusMammals]

The call for abstracts for the 2021 #AusMammals Conference is now open!

The abstract submission process as well as Presentation Guidelines can be found at https://t.co/K2IIWAH2io

The deadline for Abstract submission is 30th of July.

[Oz Mammals Genomics @OMGenomes]

@evolving_string We don’t - OMG was funded 2017-2020 and all of our genome sequencing is now completed - but @bat1kgenomes may have plans

[thednazoo @thednazoo]

Today we release chrom-length assembly for once common, now near threatened diminutive marsupials in Victoria - the fat-tailed dunnart. Collab effort @thednazoo @Dr_Parwinder @uwanews @AJ_Pask @sfberg @UniMelb @OMGenomes @BioplatformsAus & @PawseyCentre ! https://t.co/1LiI5Zm0yD
