Research School of Biology, The Australian National University, Biology Place, Canberra 0200, Australia
Genome Biol 11:R122. 2010..In marsupials, X inactivation is known to be paternal, incomplete and tissue-specific, and occurs in the absence of an XIST orthologue... - Core-SINE blocks comprise a large fraction of monotreme genomes; implications for vertebrate chromosome evolutionPatrick J Kirby
Comparative Genomics Group, Research School of Biological Science, The Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia
Chromosome Res 15:975-84. 2007..In the forthcoming sequence of the platypus genome there are still large gaps, and the extensive Mon core-SINE accumulation on the distal regions of the six large autosomal pairs may provide one explanation for this missing sequence... - Autosomal location of genes from the conserved mammalian X in the platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus): implications for mammalian sex chromosome evolutionPaul D Waters
Comparative Genomics Group, Research Group of Biological Science, The Australian National University, Canberra, ACT, 2601, Australia
Chromosome Res 13:401-10. 2005..Since these genes lie on the X in marsupials and eutherians, and also on the homologous region of chicken chromosome 4, this represents a loss from the monotreme X rather than an additional evolutionary stratum of the human X... - Identification of cryptic sex chromosomes and isolation of X- and Y-borne genesPaul D Waters
Research School of Biological Sciences, The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia
Methods Mol Biol 422:239-51. 2008..We describe a method to isolate, identify, and map genomic BAC clones from the Y chromosome, and we also identify strategies for isolating candidate sex chromosome genes... - Bird-like sex chromosomes of platypus imply recent origin of mammal sex chromosomesFrederic Veyrunes
Research School of Biological Sciences, Australian National University, Canberra 2601, Australia
Genome Res 18:965-73. 2008..Therefore, the therian X and Y are more than 145 million years younger than previously thought... - Sex determination in platypus and echidna: autosomal location of SOX3 confirms the absence of SRY from monotremesM C Wallis
Comparative Genomics Group, Research School of Biological Sciences, The Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia
Chromosome Res 15:949-59. 2007..Sex determination in platypus and echidna must therefore depend on another male-determining gene(s) on the Y chromosomes, or on the different dosage of a gene(s) on the X chromosomes... - Conservation of a chromosome arm in two distantly related marsupial speciesA Mohammadi
ARC Centre of Excellence for Kangaroo Genomics, Research School of Biological Sciences, The Australian National University, Canberra, ACT, Australia
