The paper describes the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) pilot project, which tests a decentralized model for producing high-quality reference genomes across 98 European species.

The paper develops a method to analyze transposable elements in polyploid genomes using long-read sequencing, revealing somatic transposition events and TE family proliferation.

The paper sequenced 25 Drosophila S2 cell sub-lines to show ongoing transposition and use TE insertions for phylogenetic reconstruction in cell culture.

This paper uses transposable element profiles to identify and authenticate Drosophila cell lines and reveal loss of heterozygosity.

The paper presents a haplotype-resolved genome assembly for the red palm weevil, identifying 23,413 protein-coding loci and improving gene discovery compared to previous assemblies.

The paper examines how meiotic recombination in Drosophila virilis is affected by transposable element activation during hybrid dysgenesis, finding it robust but with mitotic recombination effects.

The paper identifies satellite DNAs in Drosophila virilis and D. americana using TAREAN and RepeatExplorer, showing their effectiveness but also highlighting challenges with false positives.

The paper generates phased diploid genome assemblies for three Candida albicans strains isolated from oak trees using PacBio sequencing.

The paper identifies another Cid duplication in Drosophila and shows that Cenp-C also duplicated in the subgenus, with subfunctionalization and male germline-biased expression in the paralogs.

The paper identifies an intronic sequence in the NOS1AP gene as the origin of the CapA satDNA in Platyrrhini primates, showing how a single-copy sequence can evolve into a highly repeated satellite DNA.

The paper shows a Helitron transposable element became a viral segment in a bracovirus through horizontal transfer in parasitoid wasps.
