Characterisation of pouch secretions from breeding Tasmanian devils

This study identifies immune proteins in Tasmanian devil pouch secretions that may contribute to microbiome restructuring during lactation.

When Cells Rebel: a comparative genomics investigation into marsupial cancer susceptibility

This study investigates genetic factors contributing to high cancer susceptibility in marsupials by comparing genome expansions of oncogenes between dasyurid and non-dasyurid species.

Temporal loss of genome-wide and immunogenetic diversity in a near-extinct parrot

The paper tracks genomic and immunogenetic diversity loss in the orange-bellied parrot over time, finding a 62% reduction in genomic diversity and decreased Toll-like receptor alleles, increasing disease susceptibility.

Multi-omics resources for the Australian southern stuttering frog (Mixophyes australis) reveal assorted antimicrobial peptides

The paper presents genomic and transcriptomic resources for the southern stuttering frog, identifying novel antimicrobial peptides through multi-omics approaches.

Genome assembly of the numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus), the only termitivorous marsupial

The paper presents the first draft genome of the numbat, identifying genes related to its termitivorous diet and providing insights into its evolutionary adaptations.

A reference genome for the critically endangered woylie, Bettongia penicillata ogilbyi

The paper reports the first reference genome for the critically endangered woylie, generated using long-read sequencing and transcriptome assembly.
