This study maps dicentric chromosome breakage hotspots in Drosophila and identifies structural complexity, replication-transcription conflict, and transposon involvement as key factors.

The paper introduces CheC-PLS, a proximity-labeling technique that uses Nanopore sequencing to decode chromosome organization by identifying methylated bases along long reads, demonstrating its application in budding yeast.

The paper identifies a 2:1 male offspring ratio in a human family, suggesting potential segregation distortion caused by a distorting Y-chromosome.

This study tracks genomic changes in feather lice adapting to different host color backgrounds over four years, finding distinct genetic responses to similar environmental pressures.

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly and annotation for the pigeon louse Columbicola columbae, revealing genomic features shared with other lice and insights into its adaptation to host-parasite interactions.

The paper uses pooled population resequencing of clam shrimp to identify genomic regions associated with local adaptation, finding thirteen regions with significant allele frequency divergence.

The paper analyzes long molecule sequencing data to improve genome assembly contiguity and completeness, presenting a hybrid approach that achieves high-quality assemblies with modest coverage.
