Anvaya analyzes chromosome fusion and mixing events to infer phylogenetic trees and detect whole-genome duplications using synteny data.

This study investigates the genomic mechanisms underlying diversification in mites and ticks, revealing contrasting patterns of genome evolution and gene-family expansion across lineages.

This study uses comparative genomics to identify molecular adaptations in solifuges, revealing positive selection in gene families related to metabolism and detoxification.

The paper uses genomic data to investigate arachnid phylogeny, finding that ancient whole genome duplications and fusion-with-mixing events do not resolve conflicts in higher-level relationships.

This paper presents the first near chromosome-level genome of a sea spider, revealing a single Hox cluster without abdominal-A/Hox9, supporting shared evolutionary patterns in arthropods.

This paper presents the first chromosome-level genome assembly of Mastigoproctus giganteus, revealing evidence of an ancient whole genome duplication.

The paper describes the discovery of a new species of Paleoamblypygi and uses it to generate the first molecular phylogeny of whip spiders, showing the importance of relict taxa in divergence time estimation.
