Today we release a chrom-length assembly for the Southern giant pouched rat, Cricetomys ansorgei, via collaborative effort with Ehren Bentz & Alexander Ophir Ophir Lab Cornell University! Read about this medal-winning species with insane physiology in blog post below: dnazoo.org/post/pouchies-…

Episode #5 is out now! đź’« This week we're speaking with Nora H Prior 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!



Just out: A beautiful study by Marissa Rice 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? 🧵👇 authors.elsevier.com/a/1fRAhmjL%7Ed…

Just out: Ehren Bentz 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! Genetics & Genomics doi.org/10.1016/j.ygen…

Check out our cool new paper #OphirLab! The giant pouched rat's incredible sense of smell is associated with large evolutionary expansions in the number of olfactory receptor genes #AfricanGiantPouchedRat #HeroRats #genomics Alexander Ophir Genetics & Genomics sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
