After nearly a decade of work, I’m thrilled to share the publication of the southern corroboree frog genome—a high-quality, chromosome-level assembly made possible by an incredible team from University of Melbourne, Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP), Wellcome Sanger Institute, Zoos Victoria & more. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Experts hope that the newly mapped genome of one of Australia’s most threatened amphibians - the southern corroboree frog - could lead to selective breeding and genetic engineering to increase their resistance to a deadly disease and climate change. The Critically Endangered
