This study generates high-quality genome assemblies for Gaeumannomyces species, revealing virulence lineage variation and genomic features linked to pathogenicity and lifestyle.

This study annotates the wheat pan-transcriptome de novo and identifies gene diversity and expression patterns across multiple wheat cultivars and tissues.

The paper analyzes the genetic diversity of Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, showing the European population was founded by two divergent haplotypes with adaptive potential.

The paper compares genome assemblies of Mus caroli and Mus pahari with Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus to reveal lineage-specific evolutionary mechanisms, particularly repeat-associated processes.
