Scientists at the University of Sydney sequenced the Australian bilby's genome for conservation purposes.

Scientists at the University of Sydney sequenced the Australian bilby's genome for the first time, providing valuable data for the conservation of the threatened species. The bilby, known as the "Australian Easter bunny," is a nocturnal omnivore and plays a crucial role in Australia's desert ecosystems. The newly acquired genetic blueprint will aid researchers in understanding the species' biological adaptations and evolutionary history, ultimately assisting in preserving the bilby's future.
