Cave adaptation drives coordinated transcriptional remodeling across diverse cell types in the brain of a teleost fish

The paper presents a spatial cell atlas comparing surface and cave-dwelling Mexican tetra fish brains, revealing transcriptional changes across cell types linked to cave adaptation.

A pangenome framework uncovers the role of deletions in repeated evolution of cave-derived traits

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

Hybridization Reveals Cell Type-Specific Regulatory Variation Driving Brain Transcriptomic Divergence

The paper investigates how hybridization affects gene expression in brain tissues by identifying cell type-specific regulatory variation in interspecies fish hybrids.

Genomic resources for comparative analyses of obligate avian brood parasitism

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

Comparison of Human Melanoma Single Cell Profiles to Evolutionary Medicine Model Xiphophorus Provides Insights In Disease Control

The paper compares single-cell profiles of Xiphophorus melanomas to human melanomas, showing that Xiphophorus melanomas mimic human melanoma cellular heterogeneity.

A single-nucleus census of immune and non-immune cell types for the major immune organ systems of chicken.

The paper presents a single-nucleus atlas of immune and non-immune cell types in chicken immune organs, revealing transcriptomic diversity and intercellular communication in response to bacterial infection.

Astyanax mexicanus surface and cavefish chromosome-scale assemblies for trait variation discovery

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