Paleogenomic insight into the collapse, recovery, and management of American bison

This study uses ancient and modern bison genomes to show past population connectivity and reveal human impacts on bison diversity, informing conservation efforts.

A Complete Genome for the Common Marmoset

The paper presents the first telomere-to-telomere genome for the common marmoset, revealing genomic features and a pangenome resource for biomedical research.

On the ancestry and evolution of the extinct dire wolf

This study uses paleogenomes of dire wolves to resolve their evolutionary relationships and identify genes under diversifying selection.

HPRC2: A human pangenome reference with near-complete coverage of common genetic variation

460 haplotypes from 230 genomes, selected to maximize common-variant coverage, capture 99.43% of All of Us common small variants and halve structurally unreliable regions and base errors versus HPRC1.

Ancient DNA from shells reveals delayed genomic erosion and rapid immune adaptation in the critically endangered black abalone

The paper uses ancient DNA from shells to analyze genetic stability and immune adaptation in black abalone post-bottleneck, finding delayed genomic erosion and rapid immune-related selection.

A chromosome-level genome assembly of a vernal pool specialist amphibian, the Western Spadefoot, Spea hammondii

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for the Western Spadefoot, Spea hammondii, using long-read and proximity ligation data, enabling population genomic studies for conservation.

Wolbachia infection induces host cell state changes in vitro and determines symbiotic fate in Drosophila

This study shows Wolbachia infection changes host cell states in Drosophila cell lines, affecting gene expression and chromatin structure, and suggests these changes determine symbiotic outcomes.

The genome assembly of the duckweed fern, Azolla caroliniana

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of Azolla caroliniana, improving upon previous assemblies and aiding in understanding its population genetics and taxonomy.

Recent adaptation in an imperiled salmonid revealed by museum genomics

The paper uses museum genomics to compare historical and contemporary steelhead populations, finding minimal introgression and a decline in migration-associated haplotypes over time.

Reference genome of the bicolored carpenter ant, Camponotus vicinus

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly of the bicolored carpenter ant, C. vicinus, providing a resource for evolutionary ecology studies and clarifying cryptic diversity within the species complex.
