The paper analyzes the whale shark genome to identify genetic features correlated with body size, metabolic rate, and lifespan, finding unique genomic traits in this species.

This study identifies Apcdd1 as a dual inhibitor of BMP and Wnt signaling pathways in multiple organisms, revealing its role in development and disease.

The paper reports genomes and transcriptomes of 20 bird species, including raptors, and identifies molecular signatures related to predatory and nocturnal adaptations.

The paper analyzes the genome and transcriptomes of jellyfish to identify genetic adaptations related to active predation and body plan development.

This paper presents the first genome assembly of the non-symbiotic octocoral Dendronephthya gigantea to aid in comparative genomic studies of cnidarians and explore genetic differences between soft and stony corals.

This study sequenced the genome of the long-tailed goral to analyze its genetic diversity, historical demography, and immune-related genes, finding low heterozygosity and signs of positive selection.

The paper constructs the KoVariome database, a comprehensive resource of genetic variations in Koreans, identifying novel SNVs, indels, CNVs, and SVs and highlighting their implications for disease.

This study performs whole genome sequencing of the red-crowned crane to identify genes associated with longevity and provides genetic evidence for low metabolic rate and conservation challenges.
