The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly of the sea stickleback and reveals chromosomal fusions and fissions that reshape understanding of karyotype evolution in sticklebacks.

The paper identifies convergent evolution of a plant supergene through multiple genomic architectures, showing the same gene is duplicated and co-opted independently in different species.

The paper uses whole genome sequencing to analyze genetic differentiation and plasticity in sympatric morphs of Arctic charr across multiple lakes, revealing a polygenic basis and varying levels of reproductive isolation.

The paper describes the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) pilot project, which tests a decentralized model for producing high-quality reference genomes across 98 European species.
