The Koala Who Could

Product Information

We previously found that koala VELP shows homology to a eutherian antimicrobial protein, Glycam1 53. Koala Genome Consortium Projects for the Koala Whole Genome Shotgun project and genome assembly are registered under the umbrella BioProject PRJEB19389 (union of PRJEB5196 and PRJNA359763). KoRV is thought to have arrived in Australia via a putative murine vector before cross-species transmission 12, 13. The information generated here provides a foundation for a conservation management strategy to maintain gene flow regionally while incorporating the genetic legacy of biogeographic barriers.

Annotation of koala immune genes enabled us to study variation within candidate genes known to play a role in resistance and susceptibility to chlamydia infection in other species (Supplementary Tables 18– 20). a, Phylogenetic tree of CYP2 gene family in koala (Pcin; 31 CYP2 members), compared with marsupials: tammar wallaby (Meug), Tasmanian devil (Shar), gray short-tailed opossum (Mdom); eutherian mammals: human (Hsap), rat (Rnor), mouse (Mmus), dog (Cfam); monotreme: platypus (Oana); and outgroup chicken (Ggal). Characterisation of the immune compounds in koala milk using a combined transcriptomic and proteomic approach. Pathogenesis of progressive scarring trachoma in Ethiopia and Tanzania and its implications for disease control: two cohort studies. from Upper Brookfield, and a male, “Birke”, from Birkdale—were sampled following euthanasia due to severe chlamydiosis (20 August 2015) and severe injuries (26 August 2012), respectively.Current estimates put the number of koalas in Australia at only 329,000 (range 144,000–605,000), and a continuing decline is predicted 6.

The libraries were sequenced on the Pacific Biosciences RS II platform (Pacific Biosciences) employing P6 C4 chemistry with either 240 min or 360 min movie lengths.The considerable talents of Rachel Bright and Jim Field have been perfectly combined to create a really magnificent picture book. The scientists also say that having advanced genetic information will benefit long term conservation efforts. We characterized novel lactation proteins that protect young in the pouch and annotated immune genes important for response to chlamydial disease. The most common and deadly strain of chlamydia that affects koalas is different to the one that hits humans. The koala X is no exception, being rearranged relative to the X of both wallaby and gray short-tailed opossum.

At the time of European settlement, koalas were widespread in eastern mainland Australia, from north Queensland to the southeastern corner of South Australia. While koalas are a national symbol of Australia’s unique wildlife, they can only be found in the wild on the southeast and eastern sides of Australia, along the coastlines of Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria.
