✨️ I’m excited to share my second-author paper encapsulating most of my PhD work, which is out today in @ScienceMagazine 🥰❤️.
A new long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) underlying sex chromosome dosage compensation in the lizard Anolis

nice blog and details about the research group and the paper at sexomics.biomatix.org/blog/p….

New research led by UNSW geneticists has studied the testes of the tammar wallaby to discover how fathers silence their X chromosome in their daughters.
The findings advance knowledge in evolutionary biology and human physiology. Read the full paper here: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24…

Our lab group just published this work on the paternal X chromosome in tammar wallabies, and how it is silenced. Congrats to Ash for her first paper, and all our collaborators for putting this together!

I'm excited to share that our new paper on sex chromosomes in platypus and chicken came out today in PNAS. It shows how imbalances with gene dosage on sex chromosomes are corrected in the proteome!

The Epigenetic Time Machine has officially launched! Out today in Nature Communications - our chromatin profiles from century-old FIXED specimens! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
A game-changer for museums! @erin_e_hahn @mralexandervir @c_frere @NicolaEKent

Much to learn from our cute and cuddly #marsupials! Here⬇️we show opossum RSX mirrors eutherians #XIST, coordinating #Xchromosome inactivation with shared proteins in key #RNA n #Epigenetic pathways—-evidence of evolutionary #convergence in mammals.
Check out our new paper on the marsupial specific RSX protein interactome. The functional analogue of XIST.
Great work by Kim McIntyre @ShafaWaters @hardiprpatel @ProfJennyGraves and others.

My mad music-science project is complete, my dream has come true. Our performance of Origins – of the Universe, of Life, of Species, of Humanity on Tuesday received a standing ovation from the sell-out crowd at the Melbourne Recital Centre.

This is the most exciting thing I have ever written. Thanks to my co-librettist poet (and soprano) Leigh Hayes.
The Congress will offer delegates an incomparable,unforgettable experience. For example, what other conference offers an event like ‘Origins’, conceived and co-written by a great geneticist - @ProfJennyGraves. melbournerecital.com.au/even…

A few flood photos from Benalla. We are safe but are waiting to see if it has peaked or further water to flow.
