The paper presents a new zebrafish genome assembly with increased sequence coverage and improved annotation, along with a pangenome resource for variant analysis.

The paper identifies a transposon insertion in the 3UTR of ctnnb2 as the cause of the maternal-effect ich mutation in zebrafish, leading to transcript instability and ventralized embryos.

The paper reports the reference genome of the paradise fish (Macropodus opercularis) using long-read sequencing, identifying 20,157 protein-coding genes and demonstrating high completeness.

The paper uses phosphoproteomics to identify how PknG in mycobacteria reprograms macrophage function, revealing its role in evading immune clearance.
