The paper examines introgression and population structure in Pacific rockfishes, finding Copper shows higher differentiation while Quillback shows panmixia and introgression from 13-16 other species.

This study identifies 35.3 million structural variants across vertebrates, showing significant variation in their abundance, mechanisms, and functional impact across species.

The paper uses genomic data to predict kelp population vulnerability to climate change and suggests assisted migration as a conservation strategy.

The paper uses genetic data and ecological models to infer that canopy-forming kelps in the Northeast Pacific survived in northern refugia during the Last Glacial Maximum.

The paper uses genome sequencing to show genetic drift impacts bull and giant kelp populations, with no purging of harmful alleles, and suggests conservation strategies.

The study shows that shared selection and genetic architecture lead to repeatable evolution in hybrid sunflower populations over 14 years.

The paper identifies three large-effect loci in a duplicated genomic region that modulate migration timing across four salmon species, showing WGD-facilitated adaptive evolution.

This study sequenced and assembled the genomes of two lingonberry subspecies to explore their evolutionary history and genomic features.

The paper investigates the genomic basis of invasiveness in Ambrosia artemisiifolia, finding selection signatures in defense genes and reduced pathogen prevalence in invasive populations.

This study analyzes the genomic and phenotypic impacts of wild introgressions in sunflower, finding that while some traits improve, most introgressions negatively affect yield and quality.

The paper tests for index switching in Illumina HiSeq sequencing data and finds no evidence of increased switching on HiSeq X.
