The paper resolves taxonomic confusion in sun corals by combining molecular phylogenetics and genome assemblies, revealing T. coccinea as the cosmopolitan species and T. tagusensis as endemic to the Galapagos.

This paper evaluates autonomous eDNA metabarcoding for offshore biodiversity monitoring around an FPSO, finding that repeated sampling is needed to distinguish transient from persistent patterns.

The paper shows that eDNA profiles from water samples can indicate sample provenance across reservoirs using multi-marker metabarcoding and blockchain traceability.

This paper identifies gene clusters in Sphingobium yanoikuyae A-TP responsible for metabolizing limonene, α-pinene, and citronellol, and proposes candidates for limonene 8-hydratase.

This study uses eDNA metabarcoding to assess biodiversity in a large reservoir, revealing previously unreported species and demonstrating that 30% sampling can effectively capture biodiversity.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for the golden mussel using Hi-C, PacBio HiFi, and 10X sequencing data, achieving high contiguity and annotation.

The paper evaluates eDNA metabarcoding in a reservoir to assess biodiversity, finding it detects many taxa including previously unreported species and provides insights into fish population genetics.

The paper analyzes the population structure of golden mussels across five Brazilian reservoirs using ddRAD-seq and finds no geographic genetic structure.

The paper identifies stable reference genes for qPCR analysis of gonads in the invasive mussel Limnoperna fortunei, recommending NAPA, UBE2F, and RPS3 for sex comparisons and HS6ST3B and NAPA for female-specific studies.

The paper analyzes the gonad transcriptome of golden mussel Limnoperna fortunei to identify sex differentiation genes, finding 15 male-biased and 4 female-biased homologs of known sex-related gene families.
