The paper presents a telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of the naked mole-rat and compares it with a related species to identify gene losses and duplications associated with unique traits.

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.

The paper investigates karyotype evolution in Sceloporus lizards, finding that microchromosome fusions are more common in sex chromosomes than autosomes.

The paper presents a high-resolution chromosome-assigned genome of the Komodo dragon, identifying adaptations in cardiovascular, muscular, and chemosensory systems through comparative genomics.
