The paper investigates craniofacial genetic network evolution in syngnathid fishes using multiomics data, finding conserved core networks with localized changes contributing to morphological diversity.

This study uses RAD-seq to analyze genomic diversity and population structure in bay pipefish, finding high diversity and panmixia across two locations in Coos Bay.

The paper uses single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze developmental genetic changes in Gulf pipefish embryos, identifying cell types and gene networks associated with evolutionary traits like toothlessness and dermal armor.

The paper improves the genome assembly and annotation of the Gulf pipefish Syngnathus scovelli using long-read and Hi-C data, resulting in a more contiguous and accurately annotated genome.

This study presents chromosome-scale genomes for leafy and weedy seadragons, identifying genomic features linked to their unique biology and evolutionary traits.

The paper demonstrates that combining single cell isoform sequencing with scRNAseq improves 3' UTR annotations and enhances gene identification in stickleback fish.

Chromonomer improves genome assemblies by integrating genetic maps and conserved synteny to correct structural errors and produce enhanced chromosome models.
