The paper identifies a Hymenoptera-specific gene, torch, that controls caste-specific organ size by co-opting conserved Hippo signaling machinery across species.

The paper presents 320 nearly-complete East Asian genome assemblies, revealing new genetic diversity and structural variations not present in existing global pangenomes.

The paper constructs a near-complete genome assembly for the bearded dragon Pogona vitticeps and characterizes the Z sex chromosome, identifying key genes involved in sex determination.

This study presents whole-genome sequencing data from 4,810 Singaporeans across three ethnic groups, revealing genetic structure, admixture, and improved imputation for Asian and Oceanian populations.
