Long-read single-cell genomics: resolving chimeras in multiple displacement amplification

The paper develops lrSAGA, a tool to improve genome assembly from long-read MDA sequencing of single cells, achieving higher completeness and fewer misassemblies.

Single-cell sequencing reveals unexpected genetic diversity among Bodo spp. flagellates and their bacterial endosymbionts

The paper uses single-cell sequencing to reveal genetic diversity in Bodo flagellates and their bacterial endosymbionts, showing SSU rDNA is insufficient for species classification.

Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics of the avian embryo tailbud

The paper generates a molecular map of the avian trunk and tailbud using single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, identifying cell lineages and spatially restricted genes.

Identification of a Non-Canonical Ciliate Nuclear Genetic Code Where UAA and UAG Code for Different Amino Acids

The paper identifies a non-canonical genetic code in a ciliate where UAA and UAG codons specify different amino acids, challenging the universality of the genetic code.

Chromosome-level genome sequence of the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT, Oreochromis niloticus) highlights regions of introgression with O. mossambicus

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for the GIFT tilapia strain, identifying introgressed regions from O. mossambicus associated with growth and immunity traits.

Genomic and phylogenetic analysis of Salmonella Typhimurium and its monophasic variants responsible for invasive endemic infections in Colombia

The paper analyzes genomic and phylogenetic data of Salmonella Typhimurium and monophasic variants from Colombia to understand their population structure, evolution, and antibiotic resistance.

An improved assembly and annotation of the allohexaploid wheat genome identifies complete families of agronomic genes and provides genomic evidence for chromosomal translocations.
