How can genomics tell us about biome change?
I don’t know. But Mitzy Pepper does, and she’s going to tell us as part of the Open Consortium of Squamate Genomics upcoming talk this Thursday at 9am Canberra time (AEDT).
Interested in joining?

Why is it easier to submit a manuscript to @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social than to *any* journal? How is that possible?

Has anyone on here used GitHub pages to build a website? Either for personal or for a piece of software?
Would love to ask some questions as I’m apparently too dumb to work through the GitHub instructions.

Good morning Australasian reptile genomics folks (that seems very specific).
The Open Consortium on Squamate Genomics has a presentation by Arthur Georges (Uni Canberra) on Telomere-to-Telomere reptile genomes, this morning at 9am AEST.
Join us for some dragon chat!

🚨🐸 Frog Nerds Assemble 🐸🚨
Recently we published a paper on the phylogenetics and taxonomy of Australia and New Guinea's tree frogs, the Pelodryadidae.

What does this mean for you Litoria-lovers?
There's a whole bunch more names to use!
Let me explain ...

🐍 Do you talk about reptiles with strangers🦎
🧬 Do you lay awake thinking about N50 scores? Close your eyes and see Manhattan plots?🧬
Well, have I got the answer for you. Come check out the Open Consortium for Squamate Genomics (OCSG - that’s a mouthful).

I’m on my ‘Goodbye Europe’ tour and seems like a perfect chance to ID some critters in old European art.
First up: Peter Paul Rubens’s ‘Head of Medusa’ (1618).
Clearly European because it has a fire salamander (Salamandra), grass snakes (Natrix), and maybe a smooth snake (Coronella)?
What else?
