GRCz12tu is available on Genbank. This will be one of two genomes that will be considered "reference" genomes, there will also be a GRCz12ab assembly coming. It has entered the NCBI annotation pipeline and will also go into the Ensembl annotation pipeline.

Co-option of neck muscles supported the vertebrate water-to-land transition - Nature Communications
The evolutionary water-to-land transition involved the separation of the skull from the pectoral girdle, though these musculoskeletal changes have not been deeply characterised. Here they show that th...

🦃 Around Thanksgiving, we often stop to consider what we’re grateful for. But gratitude is important for our relationships and physical health all year long. It has also been linked to decreased loneliness. So how do we cultivate a practice? Me for @washingtonpost.com 🎁🔗 wapo.st/3Zmq8tM
Gratitude can improve our mental health. Here’s how to create a practice.
Research shows that gratitude had a significant inverse relationship to loneliness — as gratitude increased, loneliness decreased.
