A comprehensive assessment of tandem repeat genotyping methods for Nanopore long-read genomes

This paper benchmarks 7 TR genotyping tools using Nanopore long-read data, finding that no single tool is best across all metrics, and that sequence-level accuracy is crucial for clinical and population studies.

Cities as evolutionary incubators for the global spread of the Spotted Lanternfly

The paper examines how urbanization drives adaptive evolution in the Spotted Lanternfly, linking genetic changes to its invasive success in the US.

Ectopic cambia in Japanese wisteria (Wisteria floribunda) vines are associated with the expression of conserved KNOX genes

The paper investigates the formation of ectopic cambia in Japanese wisteria using anatomical, transcriptomic, and evolutionary analyses, finding conserved KNOX genes involved in atypical vascular development.

The Amphibian Genomics Consortium: advancing genomic and genetic resources for amphibian research and conservation

The paper introduces the Amphibian Genomics Consortium to address gaps in amphibian genomic resources and promote international collaboration for research and conservation.

Nanopore sequencing of 1000 Genomes Project samples to build a comprehensive catalog of human genetic variation

The paper uses long-read sequencing on 100 samples from the 1000 Genomes Project to identify structural variants and improve understanding of human genetic variation.
