Congratulations to Prof Gordon Smyth WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) for being recognized with the Julian Wells medal LorneGenomeConferenc.

Congrats to the millennium science award winners Mel Eckersley-Maslin and Quan_Nguyen LorneGenomeConferenc sponsored by Millennium Science. Fascinating to hear about the origin of cancer cell plasticity and using machine learning and spatial sequencing/proteomics for drug target discovery.

Great to be back LorneGenomeConferenc. Fascinating talks, including dingo genome sequencing results by Matt Field. No signs of domestication in the dingo.

Nice summary and commentary on the paper: Exploring the rapid evolution of the mammalian testis nature.com/articles/d4158…

Another great collaboration with Kaessmann Lab & colleagues: The molecular evolution of spermatogenesis across mammals disq.us/t/4d4epjs
Many interesting findings & another platypus moment: there is meiotic sex chromosome inactivation in monotremes. Great finish of 2022.

#Postdoc + #PhD positions available in our lab in a new endeavor - funded by the NOMIS Foundation and supported by Treutlein lab, Gray Camp and Svante Pääbo - to unravel the evolutionary impact of de novo genes in primates! Details here: zmbh.uni-heidelberg.de/Kaessmann/open… Please RT!

My new paper in Australian Zoologist on one of the big questions of 18 century biology.Indigenous Australians had clearly told the colonists monotremes laid eggs. I look at this and a previously unremarked early report from Tasmania.
