Parice A. Brandies from the University of Sydney talks about her new GigaByte publication presenting the reference genome of the Brown antechinus, Antechinus stuartii. A mouse-like marsupials that exhibits a rare reproductive strategy known as semelparity and also naturally develop age-related neuropathologies similar to those in humans.
