This paper identifies three new Panagrolaimus species using genome sequencing, ultra-conserved element analysis, and morphology, supported by high-quality assemblies from long-read data.

The paper studies genomic signatures of coevolution between a parasitoid fly and its cricket host, revealing arms-race dynamics and selective sweeps driven by host adaptations.

The paper reconstructs ancestral linkage groups in 340 dipteran genomes to study chromosome evolution, finding conserved groups in Nematoceran lineages and chromosomal fissions in Brachycera.

This paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of Acrobeloides nanus, revealing genomic features and adaptations related to parthenogenesis and desiccation resistance.

MicroFinder improves bird genome curation by identifying conserved microchromosome genes to anchor manual assembly of fragmented microchromosomes.

This paper presents two new Kudoa genomes assembled from contaminated fish samples, revealing conserved gene order and rapid sequence evolution despite genomic simplification.

The paper presents a high-quality, chromosome-scale genome assembly of Haemonchus contortus using long-read sequencing, revealing genetic diversity and transcriptional regulation.

The paper extends the GeMoMa gene prediction tool to use RNA-seq data and conservation signals, showing improved performance over existing tools in plants, animals, and fungi.
