PhD student at Monash University. I use genomics to look into climate adaptation and species divergence in coastal environments. Currently working on marine tubeworms 🪱
Hi everyone, super excited to share the first paper from my PhD work, which the AGA said was cool!
This provides valuable insights into the genetic diversity and evolutionary history of annelids, which appear to have undergone numerous chromosomal rearrangements.

Another cool genome assembly: The first phased, annotated, chromosome-level assembly for a reef-building tubeworm, Galeolaria caespitosa! The species has 11 autosomal chromosomes and no sex chromosomes.
