This study creates a single-cell atlas of Mexican cavefish brains, revealing differences in cell types and gene expression linked to evolved disease resilience.

The paper shows cavefish have improved olfaction through physiological adaptations, not expanded chemosensory receptors, and demonstrates reduced flow rate in olfactory pits enhances foraging.

The paper identifies recurrent deletions in cavefish genomes linked to adaptive traits, showing their role in repeated evolution through positive selection.

The paper generates genome assemblies for ten brood parasitic bird species and their outgroups, enabling comparative genomic analyses of obligate brood parasitism evolution.

This paper presents chromosome-scale assemblies of Astyanax mexicanus surface and cave populations to study genetic basis of adaptation to cave environments.

The paper improves genomic inference by masking haplotigs in the eastern oyster genome, enhancing SNP discovery and diversity estimates.

The paper presents two high-quality Basenji genome assemblies and compares structural variations across three dog breeds, highlighting the impact of reference genome choice on variant detection.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome of surface fish Astyanax mexicanus and uses it to identify genetic factors contributing to trait evolution in cavefish populations.

This study uses trio binning to assemble chromosome-length haplotigs for yak and cattle from an F1 hybrid, achieving high continuity and phasing accuracy.

The paper presents an updated horse reference genome, EquCab3, which improves contiguity and composition compared to the previous version, EquCab2.

The paper analyzes genomic data from passenger pigeons and their relatives to show that natural selection reduced neutral genetic diversity despite large population size, challenging previous extinction theories.
