🦎🔥 Bearded dragons don’t play by the usual rules! Their sex is determined by both genetics and temperature—heat can even turn genetic males into functioning females. Nature loves a plot twist!

Grrrr. We don't call protein phosphorylation or acteylation epiproteomics. So let's not call RNA modification epitranscriptomics. In fact, realisitically, epigenetics has so many definitions, some of them non-overlapping, that this whole epi-XXXX (genetics/genomics whatever) is just not helping us.

A near telomere-to-telomere phased genome assembly and annotation for the Australian central bearded dragon Pogona vitticeps AbstractBackground. The central bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps) is widely distributed in central eastern Australia and adapts readily to captivity. Among

🎉 Another exciting contribution from our lab this summer!

🧬 Nearly complete, gapless genome of the sex-changing central bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps) shed new light on the mystery of reptile sex determination.

Proud to be part of this collaborative effort!

Congratulations.

Today marks the end of en-JUNE-eering, the month where I focused mostly on the nitty gritty of improving genomics ML infrastructure.

Here are some of the highlights:

Indigenous Data Sovereignty (#IDSoV) is deeply rooted and growing. At ANU NCIG we walk with First Nations leaders and stand in solidarity with global communities advancing data justice, self-determination, and community-led governance. #DataSovereignty @ncig2013.bsky.social

This is madness. So sorry to hear about this Sean.

Excited to share our latest work on comparing and visualizing multiple genome assemblies to identify conservation and structural variation in pangenomes with Mumemto! Check out poster 250 at #bog25 if you are here. New preprint coming very soon 👀

Fantastic opening of the #mjdf2025conference in the beautiful city of Darwin. Looking forward to exciting discussions.
