Marsupials split off from the main mammalian lineage millions of years ago, and have been studied by biologists for years to discover what they can tell us about ancient mammals, particularly the evolution of mammalian sex chromosomes. Plus they are cute! The first marsupial genome has been sequenced and analysed from a tiny opossum named Monodelphis domestica. This Nature web focus presents the original research, and an archive of marsupial genetics and genomics.
