The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for the European leaf-toed gecko, providing a high-quality reference for studying genome evolution and sex chromosome dynamics.

The paper examines sex chromosomes in 14 elasmobranch species, identifying conserved X chromosomes and a shared candidate gene for sex determination.

The paper analyzes genomes of leatherback and green turtles to identify gene family expansions and demographic differences that may influence their ecological adaptations and conservation status.

The paper presents a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of the reed warbler and identifies two macrochromosomal fusions.

The paper summarizes methods and lessons from assembling 16 vertebrate genomes, highlights the importance of long-read sequencing, and introduces the Vertebrate Genomes Project to generate complete reference genomes for all vertebrate species.

gEVAL-assisted manual curation of 111 VGP and DToL assemblies averaged 221 interventions per Gb, raising mean scaffold N50 by 40% and cutting scaffold counts by 29%.

The paper generates a high-quality reference genome for the vaquita and analyzes its demographic history, revealing long-term population stability and low genetic diversity.
