The paper identifies giant polyketide synthase genes in Prymnesium parvum that biosynthesize large polyether toxins, resolving a long-standing biosynthetic mystery.

This paper reports a draft genome of Elysia crispata morphotype clarki, a sea slug that retains chloroplasts for months, and identifies genes potentially involved in kleptoplast retention.

The paper assembles a Great Dane genome using long-read sequencing, revealing improvements over the Boxer-derived reference and highlighting retrotransposon activity in canine genetic variation.

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly for the Setaria viridis cultivar ME034V using ultra-long nanopore sequencing and identifies structural variants and expanded gene families.

The paper analyzes whole genome sequences of canids to trace the origin and recent expansion of an active gammaretroviral lineage, identifying new insertions and polymorphisms across multiple species.

This study sequenced ancient dog genomes from the Neolithic period in Europe, finding continuity with modern dogs and rejecting a population replacement model and dual origins hypothesis for dog domestication.
