Sub-optimal paternal diet at the time of mating disrupts maternal adaptations to pregnancy in the late gestation mouse (2024)
Journal Article

Pregnancy represents a stage during which maternal physiology and homeostatic regulation undergo dramatic change and adaptation. The fundamental purpose of these adaptations is to ensure the survival of her offspring through adequate nutrient provisi...

Genome Reference Assembly for Bottlenecked Southern Australian Koalas (2022)
Journal Article

Koala populations show marked differences in inbreeding levels and in the presence or absence of the endogenous Koala retrovirus (KoRV). These genetic differences among populations may lead to severe disease impacts threatening koala population viabi...

Paternal low protein diet perturbs inter-generational metabolic homeostasis in a tissue-specific manner in mice (2022)
Journal Article

The underlying mechanisms driving paternally-programmed metabolic disease in offspring remain poorly defined. We fed male C57BL/6 mice either a control normal protein diet (NPD; 18% protein) or an isocaloric low protein diet (LPD; 9% protein) for a m...

Differential and defective transcription of koala retrovirus indicates the complexity of host and virus evolution (2022)
Journal Article

Koala retrovirus (KoRV) is unique amongst endogenous (inherited) retroviruses in that its incorporation to the host genome is still active, providing an opportunity to study what drives this fundamental process in vertebrate genome evolution. Animals... Read More about Differential and defective transcription of koala retrovirus indicates the complexity of host and virus evolution.

The Impact of Real-Time Whole-Genome Sequencing in Controlling Healthcare-Associated SARS-CoV-2 Outbreaks (2021)
Journal Article

Nosocomial severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections have severely affected bed capacity and patient flow. We utilized whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to identify outbreaks and focus infection control resources and interve...

Readfish enables targeted nanopore sequencing of gigabase-sized genomes (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature America, Inc. Nanopore sequencers can be used to selectively sequence certain DNA molecules in a pool by reversing the voltage across individual nanopores to reject specific sequences,...

Nanopore native RNA sequencing of a human poly(A) transcriptome (2019)
Journal Article

High-throughput complementary DNA sequencing technologies have advanced our understanding of transcriptome complexity and regulation. However, these methods lose information contained in biological RNA because the copied reads are often short and mod...
