Description

Researchers in the United States are working to collect the genetic sequences of koalas living in north America hoping it will help shed light on koala retrovirus. The virus can insert itself into a koala’s genome and has been associated with health issues such as immuno-suppression and cancer. The data will be combined with genetic information around the world including in Australia.
