This paper develops a dual-target capture method to recover genomic data from multiple symbiotic partners in metagenomic samples, improving recovery of low-abundance loci.

The paper investigates genome dynamics in mosses using chromosome-scale assemblies, finding extensive synteny alongside dynamic gene space driven by de novo gene birth and loss.

The paper presents the first chromosome-scale genome of Physcomitrellopsis africana, identifies two horizontally transferred genes, and highlights dynamic HGT patterns in moss evolution.

The paper reports the draft nuclear genome of the aquatic moss Fontinalis antipyretica, sequenced and assembled using 10x Genomics, with a scaffold N50 of 38.8 kb and 89.4% BUSCO coverage.
