Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is a popular Andean seed crop that has a reduced ability to thrive outside of its native range. A related member of the Allotetraploid Goosefoot Complex (ATGC), pitseed goosefoot (Chenopodium berlandieri), is a minimally invasive North American weed that is able to survive in climates and environments that are restrictive to quinoa growth. C. berlandieri has been independently domesticated at least three times, including in Mesoamerica as the immature panicle vegetable ‘huauzontle.’ To assess the capacity of C. berlandieri as a genetic resource for improvement of C. quinoa, we sequenced the whole genome of a huauzontle accession …

• The current field of rapid testing uses antigen tests that are ELISA-based.
• ELISA tests are expensive and can only provide results for high-antigen loads. (asymptomatic patients and/or low-antigen samples generate inaccurate results).1
• We aim to provide a cheaper rapid test that produces both quantitative and qualitative results.

• Carlia are known as the “Rainbow skinks” due to their iridescent scales (see Figure 1).
• Carlia are found across Oceania (see figure 2), however only relationships among the Australian species are known.
• New Guinean Carlia are divided into three species groups based on size, distribution, and morphology.
• Species within the Carlia fusca complex have primarily been delineated based on regional color patterns (see Figure 4).
• New Guinea is known for extreme lizard diversity, specifically within skinks.
• Research has shown that many lizard groups underwent a rapid diversification within New Guinea, …
