This study integrates genomic, transcriptomic, and morphological data from the small-spotted catshark to uncover molecular mechanisms underlying sensory organ evolution in jawed vertebrates.

The paper tests PCR enzymes for NGS library amplification, finding three that perform well for short reads and one that is best for long fragments.

The paper uses long-read sequencing and de novo assembly to identify structural variation in immune system gene regions from a single individual, revealing challenges in current variant calling methods.

The paper develops a pipeline for mitochondrial genome assembly and identifies errors and novel duplications in reference mitogenomes.

The paper reports the high-quality genome assembly of Pecten maximus, revealing gene duplicates and highlighting Nav1 as a candidate for toxin resistance.
