The paper identifies genomic determinants of migratory behavior in leatherback turtles, finding a putative inversion linked to navigation and genes associated with reproductive timing and neurodevelopment.

The paper assesses genomic health in leatherback turtles, finding small-stable populations have lower diversity and higher inbreeding but show genetic resilience, suggesting potential recovery if threats are mitigated.

The paper presents haplotype-resolved genomes for five sea turtle species, revealing conserved synteny and divergence hotspots linked to immune and sensory genes, and population expansion during the Pleistocene.

The paper analyzes genomes of leatherback and green turtles to identify gene family expansions and demographic differences that may influence their ecological adaptations and conservation status.

This paper introduces a targeted HTS enrichment platform for marine turtles, demonstrating its ability to genotype over 1,000 samples and identify SNPs for conservation genetics.
