✨️ I’m excited to share my second-author paper encapsulating most of my PhD work, which is out today in @ScienceMagazine 🥰❤️.

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/pnas.24…

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!

Although our cover submission wasn't selected for this issue of @PNASNews, we still wanted to share the beautiful work to illustrate our recent paper on sex chromosome dosage compensation

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

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!

The Epigenetic Time Machine has officially launched! Out today in Nature Communications - our chromatin profiles from century-old FIXED specimens! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
A game-changer for museums! @erin_e_hahn @mralexandervir @c_frere @NicolaEKent

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" pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…

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!
