The paper identifies a novel organelle, dracosphera, in the aplacophoran mollusc Chaetoderma shenloong that houses anaerobic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria for chemosynthesis in anoxic cold-seep sediments.

This paper integrates phylogenomic, genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and morphological data to resolve the systematics of the APPD lineage, elevating it to a new order and identifying unique genomic and mitochondrial features.

This study identifies genomic and proteomic adaptations in two snail lineages that independently evolved aerial egg deposition, revealing convergent evolutionary mechanisms and horizontal gene transfer.

VEHoP infers phylogenetic trees from raw reads and proteins, outperforming assembly-free methods and enabling robust phylogenomic analysis of difficult-to-sample species.

This paper analyzes the genome of Osedax frankpressi to show how genetic changes enable symbiotic digestion of bone, with reduced immunity genes and expanded protease genes.

The paper reports dual symbiosis in the deep-sea snail Gigantopelta aegis, revealing its genome and two endosymbionts with complementary metabolic functions and immune adaptations.
