BLink-seq is a scalable Haplotagging method for generating phased haplotypes and detecting structural variants in non-model species using short-read sequencing.

The paper uses genomic and phylogenetic methods to show that Lates fishes colonized Lake Tanganyika ~1-2 Mya, diversified into four species during glacial cycles, and their radiation had significant ecological impacts.

The paper shows that reference genome choice and filtering thresholds affect phylogenetic tree accuracy and balance in genomic data analysis.
