This study compares visual adaptation in deep- and shallow-water cichlids using single-cell transcriptomics, revealing differences in opsin expression and retinal organization linked to habitat and ecology.

The paper identifies extensive gene loss and a novel genetic instability called sequence stuttering on avian dot microchromosomes using long-read sequencing.

This study identifies and characterizes IRF3 and IRF9 genes in avian species, confirming their roles in IFN signaling and revealing evolutionary patterns.

The paper presents chromosome-level genome assemblies for three hybridizing Cobitis species to study hybrid sterility and asexuality, revealing structural variation and sex chromosome divergence.
