Evidence of positive polygenic selection following a series of environmental and demographic disasters in Pacific herring

The paper uses population genetics to analyze genetic changes in Pacific herring populations following environmental disasters, finding evidence of positive polygenic adaptation linked to immune function and oil toxicity.

Draft genome assemblies using sequencing reads from Oxford Nanopore Technology and Illumina platforms for four species of North American killifish from the Fundulus genus

The paper presents draft genome assemblies for four Fundulus killifish species using Illumina and Oxford Nanopore sequencing data, with contig N50 values ranging from 0.4 Mb to 2.7 Mb and BUSCO scores above 90%.
