The paper examines TE/host interactions in salamander genomes and finds no correlation between genome size and TE deletion rates or suppression, suggesting stochastic TE accumulation in gigantic genomes.

The paper analyzes genetic differentiation and adaptive evolution of buff-tailed bumblebees in Asia and Europe, identifying genetic markers associated with environmental adaptation.

This study presents genome assemblies of two homosporous lycophytes, revealing preserved gene collinearity and slow genome evolution over 350 million years.

This study constructs the first pan-genome of Asian honeybees using long-read sequencing and identifies structural variations linked to environmental adaptation.

The paper investigates TE silencing mechanisms in a salamander with a large genome, finding that piRNA pathway targets TEs proportionally to their expression and that males have higher TE expression than females.

The paper characterizes transposable element (TE) dynamics in the giant genome of Ichthyophis bannanicus and tests existing TE dynamics models.

This study identifies accessible chromatin regions in bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) using ATAC-seq across four developmental stages, providing resources for regulatory element annotation.

The paper characterizes bumblebee genomes across 17 species to identify genetic variation linked to ecological and behavioral traits, revealing insights into genome structure, evolution, and adaptation.

The paper quantifies microsatellite mutation rates in Daphnia magna across genotypes and populations, finding high mutation rates and context-dependent variation.

This study identifies tandem repeats in bumblebee genomes and shows they contribute to coding sequence variation and protein length differences between species.
