Q: What could GO WRONG with a major cancer genomics study in which tumours are sequenced to only 15x depth? A: An awful LOT! 😟 Our detailed reanalysis now out in Royal Society Publishing: tinyurl.com/RSOSrebuttal 🧵👇 (1/18)



Super excited to announce the publication of the Bilby genome today in Nature Ecology & Evolution tinyurl.com/2s67ck9r Massive effort by a great team of scientists, conservation managers & Indigenous Rangers! Sydney Science Kathy Belov A 🧵


We've just published the largest ever marsupial genome – all 3.6 billion pieces of it. Together with Indigenous rangers, we're applying two-way science to better protect bilbies. Read more from Prof Carolyn Hogg, Kathy Belov (University of Sydney). theconversation.com/we-mapped-the-…
