✨️ 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! 🧵👇 https://t.co/267BTcec1l

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are essential regulatory elements of sex chromosomes that act to equalize gene expression levels between males and females. XIST, RSX, and roX2 regulate X chromosomes in...

Very happy to be involved in examining rRNA repeats in mammals with @hardiprpatel,@cabbagesofdoom and @GanleyLab 👇 https://t.co/M37gt9dujZ

Genes encoding ribosomal RNA are highly conserved and present as large tandem repeat arrays, called rDNA, in most eukaryotes. rDNA repeat unit size is also

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: https://t.co/WWeenZoRPL

Our lab group just published this work on the paternal X chromosome in tammar wallabies, and how it is silenced. Congrats to Ash for her first paper, and all our collaborators for putting this together! @mud_skip @L_MarinGual

Great work Emma and co. Delighted to be involved! @UNSWBABS
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

I'm excited to share that our new paper on sex chromosomes in platypus and chicken came out today in PNAS. It shows how imbalances with gene dosage on sex chromosomes are corrected in the proteome! @mud_skip

Great to have this one out there!
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"

Check out our new paper released today in PNAS. We show that incomplete sex chromosome dosage compensation in the transcriptome is corrected in the proteome! Congrats @NicholasLi15883 .... Years in the pipeline! @UNSWBABS
