Among mammals, only eutherians and marsupials are viviparous and have genomic
imprinting that leads to parent-of-origin-specific differential gene expression. We used …

Recent marsupials include about 280 species divided into 18 families and seven orders.
Approximately 200 species live in Australia/New Guinea. The remaining species inhabit …

A fundamental challenge in resolving evolutionary relationships across the tree of life is to
account for heterogeneity in the evolutionary signal across loci. Studies of marsupial …
