Funded Activity Summary

Molecular characterization of marsupial genome organization, function and evolution. I will initiate a coherent investigation of the genome of an Australian marsupial (the tammar wallaby), exploiting new resources, new techniques and the hugely increased capacity for large-scale investigations of genomes at the molecular level. I will isolate and characterize large-insert (BAC) clones of the gene-rich region of the Y chromosome, ancient, added and controlling regions of the X chromosome, and autosomal imprinted regions. Comparisons with the homologous regions of the human and mouse genomes will identify and characterize new mammalian genes and control signals, untangle complex regulatory systems, and discover how mammalian genes, and the mammalian genome, evolved.
