Whole Genomes
Working group chair:
Janine Deakin (University of Canberra)
By sequencing whole genomes (and transcriptomes as needed), this working group will:
- enable new insights into evolution by generating representative marsupial genomes from a broader phylogenetic range than previously available
- provide high resolution genome-scale resources for threatened mammal species
OMG is currently contributing to whole genome projects for the following species. Follow the links to learn more about each project:
