Welcome back!

Tahlia has just returned from the U.K. after completing an intensive course of bioinformatics on metagenomic data analysis in Cambridge, run by the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL). We hope that this will bring us closer to unravelling the mysteries of echidna scats (poop!) 😉

P.S. Metagenomics is where we can take all DNA from a single sample (like poo) and find out what species of organisms are in there. This could be bacteria, plants, insects or even other animals. This method has been commonly used for microbiome studies, understanding the diversity of bacteria in all sorts of environments.

Congratulations to our undergraduate student, Isabella, for her first publication and cover on SEGments! Here, she provides information on short-beaked echidnas and our initiative in their conservation via our app, Echidna CSI. Check out her article on page 10 of this issue.
