Our latest Ramaciotti Centre for Genomics Oz Mammals Genomics assembly: 275 Mb longest scaffold and 47.5 Mb N50 - it's a new 10x Genomics lab record! #omg #genomics #genomeassembly edwardslab.blogspot.com/2019/01/we-hav…

Can you guess which are #toads (family Bufonidae) and which are #frogs? #worldfrogday Richard Edwards


We have one of these prestigious PhD scholarships with Lee Rollins and Marc Wilkins. If you want to develop genomic resources for cane toads and other invasive species, get a generous support package, and live in beautiful Sydney, get in touch! #PhD #scholarship #Genomics

Glenn King and venomous animals up now in #GSA2019 #GAIA symposium. Did I mention we’ve sequenced two of Australia’s top ten most deadly venomous snakes for the UNSW Science UNSW BABS Genome project? 😝Currently trying to identify venom gene expansions...


Thinking of a PhD? Interested in genomics? Ever wonder why cane toads do so well in Oz? The Edwards Lab has a PhD project to study the molecular evolution of the iconic Australian cane toad. Applications close 12 July. $41k pa stipend. UNSW Science scientia.unsw.edu.au/scientia-phd-s…
