The paper identifies a new Serratia taxon in mites with genomic signs of host adaptation but phylogenetically distinct from S. symbiotica.

The paper identifies how neuropeptide genes in cone snails evolved into toxins through mechanisms like exon shuffling and transposable element-driven recombination, revealing dynamic genome-molecular innovation interactions.

This study identifies a new family of hookworm peptides that mimic the chordate gut-brain hormone neurotensin, showing structural and functional similarity to modulate gut function.

The paper investigates m6A methylation in Plasmodium falciparum, showing its role in polyadenylation and transcription termination.

This paper presents a chromosome-level genome and genomic dataset for the invasive mite Halotydeus destructor, identifies pesticide resistance mutations, and develops KASP markers for resistance diagnostics.

The paper evaluates 51 amphibian genomes to assess their utility for functional genomics, finding variation in quality, high transposable element content, and conserved synteny despite divergence.

The paper presents the first reference genome of the redlegged earth mite, identifying genes associated with pesticide resistance and population structure in its invasive range.

The paper analyzes gene and protein domain content changes across 76 arthropod genomes to understand evolutionary patterns and their association with phenotypic adaptations.

This study analyzes the genome of Colletotrichum tanaceti to identify pathogenicity genes and reveals rapid evolution in CAZyme families and a 'two-speed' genome structure.

This study uses CRISPR/Cas9 to knockout the Ov-grn-1 gene in liver flukes, showing reduced biliary tract pathology in infected hamsters.

The paper provides best practice data life cycle approaches for life sciences researchers focusing on omics datasets and computational data analysis.
