All things sex chromosomes... structure, function, regulation, evolution



✨️ 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 🦎 #MAYEX! 🧵👇 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…













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/pn…






New publication alert! 🎉🎓 Excited to share the final chapter of my PhD has been published! Together with @mud_skip and @WhiteLabUNSW we explore endogenous retroviruses in Australian marsupials. Read 🧵below for a breakdown @UNSWScience @UNSWBABS academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-ar…





Forty years ago I showed that genes on the inactive X in female mammals are silenced because they are not transcribed into RNA. Sniffy Nature reviewers bounced my paper because "what else could it be?" Well, read our new paper that documents the "else" pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
