Our littlest Queenslanders are invited to learn, move and play with us as we share stories of animals from our land and their connections to First Nations cultures. In this interactive workshop, designed for Kindy – Year 2, early years learners will connect with animals featured in Queensland Museum’s Wild State exhibition to explore the significant role animals have in First Nations culture. Spirits of the Wind Workshops is part of QPAC’s Out of the Box.

The de novo transcriptome assembly for Idiosepius pygmaeus was created from a total of 138.6 million PacBio ISO-sequencing subreads and resulted in 49,981 transcripts that were clustered into 27,420 genes. The transcriptome assembly had an N50 of 3,163 bp, 70.4% complete BUSCOs and an 82.1 ± 5.5% overall alignment rate of the RNA-seq reads (Table S3). A total of 69% of the transcripts received a functional annotation (Supplementary Table S4).
