New paper out with @SashaPavlova123 and team, presents outcomes of helmeted honeyeater genetic rescue breeding trials using gene flow from a different subspecies, finds benefits outweigh risks 🧬 monash.edu/science/news/c…

NEW IN @molecology!!! Are you using SNPs🧬 of a bird or mammal population? You are probably forgetting a crucial filtering step! 😱 A 🧵1/6 Link to article -> doi.org/10.1111/1755-0… Research done with @SashaPavlova123 at @Monash_Science and @MonashBiol

In their most recent study, Duntsch et al. investigate individual and temporal variation in #inbreeding and report #genome-wide and region-specific inbreeding depression signals for a species of #conservation concern, the #Aotearoa New Zealand #hihi -> buff.ly/3Xmzxxu

Today was a great day at @VicBioCon! I talked about how forgetting to remove #sexlinked loci from your SNP dataset can lead to spurious results and wrong management recommendations. *Do* remove your sex-linked loci, friends! #bioinformatics #genomics #conservation

ARI Seminars are back for 2023! We've lined up Dr Andy Danylchuk (@UMassAmherst) and Dr Jarod Lyon (#ARIscience) to learn about the role of community engagement and captive breeding in fish conservation.

#Preprint 🚨Led by @Georgette_F from her bachelor🤯thesis at @lcgunam. Generated 130+ years old and modern genomes of the Seych paradise flycatcher. Used pop gen, demo rec and fwd simulations to study gen load and adaptive potential over time. Brief 🧵 1/7 shorturl.at/pyV49

All I want for Christmas is for young children & babies to be included in the covid vaccination program - like they have in the USA, Canada, Singapore, HK, & for every other person in Oz over 5yo - so their development can be protected from this monstrous multisystem pandemic.

@DRobledoRuiz @SashaPavlova123 @rohanclarke01 Congratulations!!

Yesterday, after 3.5 years of #PhD, I got to celebrate 👩‍🎓 graduation!!! Felt so grateful to have my mom, partner and #MonashUniversity supervisors with me to make it special 🎉🥂🥳 #ItIsMexiCANnotMexiCANNOT Thanks for being there @SashaPavlova123 and @rohanclarke01

Our new HeHo paper is just out!!!🧬🤓 We present the genome AND linkage map of the✨HeHo✨ What does this mean for its conservation? Check the video⬇️and the paper at @GigaScience: academic.oup.com/gigascience/ar… @SashaPavlova123 @Dr_Parwinder @odudcha @erezaterez @HernMoral

@DRobledoRuiz Yaaaaay! Congratulations!! 👏👍😃

I DID IT!!!!!! 😱🤩😭🤯🥳✨✨✨✨✨ 3.5 years of hard work completed!!!!! #CannotBelieveIt #PhDthesisSubmitted #phdlife

Jessica Presnell @latrobe is using genomics methods to understand hybridisation and genotype-phenotype associations in an endangered bird, the Black-eared miner, which is threatened by genetic introgression #VicBioCon22

We see you, parents. Our thoughts are with the parents facing impossible choices as we return to school and work in the face of the omicron surge. In the coming weeks, many will face massive life disruptions and illness, after sacrificing so much to avoid it for so long. 1/3

Newly published in MER: @SashaPavlova123 & co-authors present the annotated genomes of two Australian freshwater perch species, and a developed sexing assay for Macquarie Perch 🐟 @K_Harrisson @gmh81 Link → buff.ly/3F9mgjw 📷 Victorian Fisheries Authority

Today we release a chrom-length assembly upgrade for Australia’s largest freshwater fish, the iconic Murray cod. Collaborative effort @thednazoo @Dr_Parwinder @uwanews @K_Harrisson @latrobe @Davidofhillarys @AustralFish. Read more below! dnazoo.org/post/oh-my-cod

Wanna know how to upload a genome to @NCBI ? Watch the VIDEO below! ⬇️ Last week I wanted to upload the new #HeHo_genome 🧬to NCBI and I could not find any short video to teach me how. So I made my own! 🤓 #Genomics #ChromosomeLengthGenome @SashaPavlova123 @K_Harrisson

@erazeng Can relate xx

New research opportunity at ARI- we're looking for a birdo who's collaborative, a clear communicator and has experience in science leadership. The position is until June 2024, for more details, see the job description at tinyurl.com/34558myf #ARIScience

@fernhames @DELWP_Vic Congratulations Fern!

Thrilled to announce my new role: Director of the Arthur Rylah Institute for Environmental Research, @DELWP_Vic. I am hugely proud of ARI's 'Science That Matters' & know our brilliant team will play key roles in addressing the enviro-challenges ahead & people-nature opportunities
