The paper investigates hatching failure in Alala, the Hawaiian crow, after a near-extinction event, identifying recessive lethal haplotypes as the main cause.

The paper evaluates CRISPR-mediated knock-outs of pigmentation genes in Culex quinquefasciatus to identify viable targets for genetic engineering and conservation applications.

The paper uses genetic sequencing to identify oyster species in Hawai'i, finding most unknown samples belong to the Ostrea stentina/aupouria/equestris complex and confirming the presence of O. equestris in the region.

The paper presents a high-quality long-read genome assembly for the Alala, a critically endangered Hawaiian crow, to support conservation efforts through genomic tools and comparative studies.
