The paper examines parallel visual adaptations in two coral reef fish species pairs under different light environments, finding convergent shifts in cone sensitivities achieved through distinct opsin gene sets.

This study presents genome assemblies for two transisthmian damselfish species separated by the Central American Isthmus, revealing structural variants and gene family expansions linked to environmental adaptation.

This study compares genomic adaptations in two distantly related reef fish families to environmental changes post-Isthmus of Panama formation, finding limited molecular parallelism despite shared selective pressures.

The paper identifies ten new genes with coding variants linked to Crohn's disease risk using sequencing data from over 30,000 patients and 80,000 controls.

The paper shows that the germline-restricted chromosome (GRC) in zebra finches can be paternally inherited, challenging previous assumptions of strict maternal transmission.

The paper compares pedigree, genetic, and genomic methods for estimating relatedness in two endangered birds to improve pairing decisions in conservation breeding programs.
