g., NCBI TI numbers: 1378971959 and 1718787462 for TAS1R1 and 1437875519 and 1634206001 for TAS1R3)). Koala reproduction is of particular interest because the koala is an induced ovulator 52, with key genes controlling female ovulation ( LHB, FSHB, ERR1, ERR2), as well as prostaglandin synthesis genes important in parturition and ejaculation ( PTGS1, PTGS2, PTGS3) ( Supplementary Note). Linear modeling indicated that mean F differed significantly between several regions (Midcoast New South Wales–Southern Australia, P = 0. Equal enrichment between IP and Input is represented by 50% distribution for each repeat and deviation from 50% indicates enrichment in either IP or Input.

Surprisingly, given the degree of its dietary specialization, the olfactory receptor genes ( n = 1,169) characterized in koala had a gene repertoire that was slightly smaller than that of gray short-tailed opossum (1,431 genes), tammar wallaby (1,660 genes) and Tasmanian devil (1,279 genes) ( Supplementary Note).f– h, Mean EBF (natural log transformed, EBF values of 0 excluded) for koala tree tips ( n = 31; red) relative to all others ( n = 121 in 9 species (see Methods), blue). 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.

Homology amongst marsupial chromosomes was determined previously from cross-species chromosome painting, which divided marsupial genomes into 19 conserved segments* and could be extrapolated to all previously G-banded marsupial karyotypes †.Although direct orthology to any of the human proteins was not seen, their location and similar length and structure indicate that MM1 and the additional novel genes may be related to this group of human antimicrobials, and may also have an antimicrobial role. The koala has more TAS2Rs than any other Australian marsupial, and among the most of all mammal species 49, 50, including paralogs of human and mouse receptors whose agonists are toxic glycosides (Supplementary Table 15 and Supplementary Note). You can find koalas in eucalyptus forests all along Australia's Great Dividing Range which runs along the whole of the east coast of Australia with populations in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.
