The paper shows that locust swarming evolves through diverse molecular pathways rather than shared genes, highlighting flexible regulatory architectures and modular systems.

This study identifies WOX1 mutations as the genetic basis of the prickleless S locus in blackberry and red raspberry, enabling gene editing to create prickleless cultivars.

The paper uses chromosome-level genome assembly and historical museum collections to study waterbuck population structure and chromosome evolution, finding genomic differentiation and recombination patterns linked to Robertsonian fusions.

The paper presents chromosome-length genome assemblies for three marten subspecies, revealing genomic features and improving taxonomic understanding.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for Uta stansburiana and uses RNA-seq data to identify gene expression differences linked to pace-of-life syndromes across environments.

This study integrates genomic, transcriptomic, and morphological data from the small-spotted catshark to uncover molecular mechanisms underlying sensory organ evolution in jawed vertebrates.

This study uses CRUDO to show that cohesin and 3D contacts influence enhancer-promoter regulation, with distal enhancers showing stronger cohesin dependence.

This paper reports the 3D genome architecture of a 52,000-year-old woolly mammoth using a novel method, revealing conserved epigenetic features across elephantids.

This paper introduces a low-cost, high-throughput method for SARS-CoV-2 detection using whole genome sequencing, achieving high sensitivity and accuracy comparable to clinical tests.

ENCODE's containerised Workflow Description Language pipelines for ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, DNase-seq, RNA-seq variants, Hi-C and bisulfite sequencing run on cloud or local clusters, with documented compute costs and provenance.

The paper presents a chromosome-length genome assembly of the Black Petaltail dragonfly, providing the first such assembly for a non-libelluloid dragonfly.

The paper presents a chromosome-length genome assembly and annotation of the blackberry species Rubus argutus, identifying candidate genes for primocane-fruiting.

The paper assembles the mule deer genome into chromosome-length contigs using long-read sequencing and Hi-C, and compares demographic histories with white-tail deer.

The paper reports the high-quality genome assembly of Pecten maximus, revealing gene duplicates and highlighting Nav1 as a candidate for toxin resistance.
