The paper uses a chromosome-level reference genome to analyze Y-chromosomal diversity in Saimaa ringed seals, finding extreme loss of diversity compared to other ringed seal populations.

The paper presents a chromosome-level reference genome for the Saimaa ringed seal, identifies genomic features, and explores evolutionary relationships and adaptations.

The paper assesses DNA barcoding's utility for identifying phorid flies, finding it effective but limited by reference sequence accuracy and highlighting Megaselia as a dark taxon.

The paper shows Saimaa ringed seals originated 60,000 years ago, long before their lake habitat formed, and have distinct adaptive traits.

The study shows the Y951N mutation in POLgamma impairs its ability to switch between DNA synthesis and degradation, causing mtDNA depletion without directly affecting polymerase or exonuclease activity.

The paper investigates mitonuclear incompatibilities in hybrid hares by generating cybrids and analyzing their cellular fitness and metabolic effects.

This paper presents a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly for the mountain hare, contributing to the European Reference Genome Atlas initiative.

The paper analyzes mitochondrial tandem repeat variation in hares, finding species-specific differences and suggesting these repeats are selfish genetic elements rather than regulatory.

This study identifies species differences in glycerol-3-phosphate metabolism between brown and mountain hares, revealing metabolic adaptations to climate.

Mirin prevents mtDNA breakage and immune response in MGME1-deficient cells through MRE11-independent mechanisms involving TOP3A and mtDNA replication termination.

The paper presents a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of the brown hare, providing insights into chromosomal evolution and hybridization with the mountain hare.
