The paper identifies convergent and lineage-specific genomic changes in sugar-feeding birds through genome and transcriptome analyses, revealing adaptive mechanisms in metabolic pathways.

The paper assembles the first haplotype-resolved diploid genome of Prymnesium parvum type B, identifies genomic differences linked to toxin variation, and provides insights into strain diversity and toxin production mechanisms.

The paper identifies a candidate sex determination locus in the European green toad, involving structural variation in the bod1l gene and a Y-specific non-coding RNA.

The paper compares genomes across multiple fish species to study the evolutionary changes in the amhr2bY gene, a key sex-determining gene, revealing gains and losses in different Percidae species.

The paper uses crowdfunding to sequence a celebrity cat's genome, identifying mutations causing osteopetrosis and polydactyly, and highlights crowdfunding as a funding and communication tool.

This study sequenced wild tobacco genomes to uncover how nicotine biosynthesis evolved through gene duplications and transposable elements.

This paper presents a half haplotype-resolved genome of hexaploid Ipomoea batatas, revealing two ancient whole genome duplication events and specialized compound biosynthesis gene clusters.
