This study uses transcriptome data to analyze hybridization dynamics and genetic structure in Japanese and Chinese giant salamanders, identifying hybrid groups and genetic contributions.

The paper uses whole-genome sequencing of CRFK and PG-4 cells to infer the phenotype of their donor cats, identifying coat and iris color traits.

The paper isolates and characterizes two novel cyanobacterial strains from hot-springs and analyzes their genomic features and ecological role in tadpole diets.

The paper uses Nanopore sequencing to determine the complete mitochondrial genome of Buergeria japonica, revealing long repeat regions in its control region that may be linked to thermal adaptation.
