News and updates for the BABS Genome education and outreach initiative of the School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences at UNSW Sydney, Australia. Join us as we sequence, assemble and analyse the genomes of some iconic Australian species.
This month saw the first presentation of the BABS genomes outside UNSW. A poster on the genome assemblies was presented at the Sydney Bioinformatics Research Symposium 2018 (abstract below): Pseudodiploid pseudo-long-read whole genome sequencing and assembly of Pseudonaja textilis (eastern brown snake) and Notechis scutatus (mainland tiger snake)
