The paper shows that fine-tuning assembly parameters improves long-read genome assembly quality and introduces software to compare assembly qualities.

The paper investigates allele-specific expression in the social supergene of red fire ants, finding most genes show no social form dependence but some exhibit signs of gene degeneration or evolutionary conflict.

The paper examines the relationship between social organization and lineage-specific microRNAs in bees, finding that novel miRNAs may coevolve with genes but do not significantly influence social evolution.

The paper presents a draft genome assembly of the alkali bee and identifies genes under selection and population genetic patterns.
