The paper generates a high-quality axolotl genome assembly and identifies conserved non-coding elements linked to regeneration and cis-regulatory functions.

The paper investigates the role of histone methyltransferases in DNA elimination during sea lamprey embryogenesis, finding they contribute to repressive histone mark deposition but are not essential for the elimination process itself.

The paper presents a genome assembly for white sturgeon and identifies genetic markers for sex determination, aiding conservation and aquaculture efforts.

This paper assembles the first complete genome of the Northern Dusky Salamander, revealing its miniaturized genome and TE composition.

The paper identifies a balanced lethal system in Triturus newts as arising from a single macromutation causing instantaneous speciation.

This study analyzes the hagfish genome to understand vertebrate evolution, identifying ancient genome duplications and their functional roles in vertebrate innovations.

The paper reconstructs a high-coverage coding gene set for the inshore hagfish Eptatretus burgeri using genome sequencing and RNA-seq data.

The paper identifies repetitive elements specific to eliminated chromosomes in sea lamprey embryos and links them to chromosome elimination mechanisms.

This study analyzes the neural crest gene regulatory network in sea lampreys to identify conserved and unique elements across vertebrates.

This paper presents a chromosome-scale assembly of the axolotl genome, enabling large-scale genomic analyses and resolving orthologies and phenotypic features.

The paper identifies a tiny W-specific region in the axolotl genome containing a duplicated ATRX gene, suggesting it as a candidate for the sex-determining locus or a sexually antagonistic gene.
