Genomic forecasting links climate-associated variation to spring phenology in the European wild apple, a crop wild relative of the cultivated apple

The paper tests if climate-associated genomic variation predicts phenotypic adaptation in European wild apple, finding genomic offsets link to bud-break timing but not other traits.

Reticulate evolution and climate driven diversification shaped the origin and geographic structure of Linum bienne

This study investigates how hybridization, incomplete lineage sorting, and climate change shaped the evolutionary history and geographic structure of Linum bienne.

Contrasting genomic routes to domestication in Occidental and Oriental pears

This study compares domestication routes in European and East Asian pears, finding weak bottlenecks, gene flow, and no cost-of-domestication effect.

Comprehensive annotation of olfactory and gustatory receptor genes and transposable elements revealed their evolutionary dynamics in aphids

The paper analyzes olfactory and gustatory receptor genes and transposable elements in aphid genomes to understand their evolutionary dynamics and role in host adaptation.

Taking advantage of reference-guided assembly in a slowly-evolving lineage: application to Testudo graeca.

The paper produces a chromosome-level genome assembly for Testudo graeca using a reference-guided approach with Gopherus evgoodei, revealing population history insights.

Disentangling the determinants of transposable elements dynamics in vertebrate genomes using empirical evidences and simulations

The paper investigates factors influencing transposable element dynamics in green anole genomes using empirical data and simulations, finding that recombination, demography, and TE properties interact to shape their frequencies and distributions.
