Genomic signatures of selection associated with benzimidazole drug treatments in Haemonchus contortus field populations

This study identifies genomic signatures of benzimidazole drug resistance in Haemonchus contortus using field populations with defined treatment histories, showing the isotype-1 β-tubulin gene as the primary resistance locus.

A database for ITS2 sequences from nematodes

The paper presents a database of ITS2 sequences from nematodes and the software used to build it, along with tools to create ITS2 databases for other taxonomies.

Nanopore sequencing of Giardia reveals widespread intra-isolate structural variation

The paper uses Nanopore sequencing to generate high-quality genomes and identify structural variants in Giardia isolates, revealing heterozygosity and variant-specific surface proteins.

Morphogenesis and differentiation of embryonic vascular smooth muscle cells in zebrafish

The paper traces the morphogenesis and transcriptome of early vascular smooth muscle cells in zebrafish using foxc1b as a marker.
