The paper identifies evolutionary processes in acrocentric chromosomes of great apes, including repeat enrichment, inversion, and gene family amplification, with implications for human genomic instability.

T2T-HG002v1.1, a complete diploid HG002 assembly lacking detectable errors over 99.4% of its length, enables genome-based benchmarking of assemblies, sequencing reads, and phased variant calls.

The paper presents telomere-to-telomere genome assemblies of a Thoroughbred horse and donkey derived from a mule, revealing insights into equid centromere evolution and plasticity.

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

This study assembles human Robertsonian chromosomes, identifies a common breakpoint and centromere epigenetic changes, and explores structural features enabling their formation.

The paper presents haplotype-resolved genomes of six ape species with high accuracy and provides comparative analyses to study evolutionary diversity and gene family evolution.

The paper produces gapless assemblies of ape sex chromosomes for five great apes and a lesser ape, revealing divergence in Y chromosomes and evolutionary dynamics.

The paper presents a scalable pipeline for reference genome assembly and evaluation, demonstrating its effectiveness across 51 vertebrate species using Galaxy.

This paper presents a high-quality genome assembly and associated data for the giant trevally, providing resources for ecological and comparative genomics studies.

The paper generates a high-quality genome assembly for the roundjaw bonefish and analyzes population genetic connectivity in the Western Indian Ocean.
