This study identifies structural variants and transposable element insertions in oysters, showing their role in genomic diversity and adaptation to environmental conditions.

This study investigates how the single visual opsin in deep-sea octopods evolves across different light environments, finding specific amino acid substitutions that alter spectral sensitivity and structural properties to adapt to pressure and light conditions.

This study compares the sequence evolution of sex-determination related genes in bivalves, mammals, and Drosophila, finding shared patterns in bivalves and mammals but not in Drosophila.

BASE is a workflow that integrates non-ubiquitous gene orthogroups for selection regime analysis using CodeML, expanding the scope of comparative genomics studies.
