Hi, we're Zoonomia! Our first paper is out #openaccess and we're celebrating by giving credit where credit is due, showcasing some of the amazing mammals we've been studying! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

A comparative genomics multitool for scientific discovery and conservation

Nature - A whole-genome alignment of 240 phylogenetically diverse species of eutherian mammal—including 131 previously uncharacterized species—from the Zoonomia Project provides data...

Mammals & genomics. Diane Genereux and I distill it to (comparative) essentials in @broadinstitute public lecture “Clarity from comparison: How other animals' genomes illuminate our own.” Sadly, few @ZoonomiaProject species survived the #2021MMM #carnage youtu.be/YKjYFydrje0

Diane Genereux and I are talking #mammal #genomics (@ZoonomiaProject) @broadinstitute next week! Public lecture, open to all. @scribbler_tom now has me pondering what cool mammal trait I’d want to have. Echolocation? Hibernation? Ability to survive deep ocean dives?

What do other species' feats of physiology (think squirrels' ability to hibernate for MONTHS) have to do with human biology? Find out when I host @zoonomia scientists @eenork & Diane Genereux for our next #ScienceForAllSeasons.

Unfortunately, and despite CDC precautions, the western lowland gorilla troup at the @sdzsafaripark has tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. sdzsafaripark.org/update

UPDATE: In following the guidance set forth from the Governor’s Office, we are temporarily closed. We remain committed to providing around-the-clock care for the remarkable wildlife at the Zoo during this time.

First up, the western spotted skunk. Spilogale gracilis isn't a true hibernator (sorry @faunabio), but it's got a great strategy for avoiding the winter blues: snoozing for several weeks! We just may try that when the weather gets unbearable this year... doi.org/10.2307/1380869

Gambian pouched #rats have a keen sense of #smell. One, named Magawa, won the @PDSA_HQ Gold Medal 2020 for detecting landmines in Cambodia. This @HeroRATs has found 39 landmines and 28 unexploded munitions so far! bbc.com/news/world-54284952
