E&E PhD Exit Webinar: The insight of Eucalyptus pauciflora (snow gum) genome
In this talk, I will introduce a suite of new methods and biological insights gained from the assembly and analysis of Eucalyptus genomes. I will start by introducing new methods of assembling and assessing nuclear, mitochondrial, and chloroplast genomes with long- and short-read data.

In this talk, I will introduce a suite of new methods and biological insights gained from the assembly and analysis of Eucalyptus genomes. I will start by introducing new methods of assembling and assessing nuclear, mitochondrial, and chloroplast genomes with long- and short-read data. I will then describe a suite of new biological insights that I have gained from the use of these genomes to tackle key biological questions. These include the accumulation of somatic mutations within individual, the intracellular transfer of DNA between genomes within individuals, and some surprising features of the chloroplast genome not just within eucalypts but across the angiosperm tree of life.

This thesis examines the effect of climate change on a high-elevation ecosystem of Australia. It is expected that increases in temperature and changes in rainfall patterns will strongly influence both plant communities and the soil environments that support them.
Velvet ants (mutillids) are a diverse and charismatic family of parasitoid wasps, characterised by extreme sexual dimorphism and a striking array of anti-predator adaptations.
