The paper develops lrSAGA, a tool to improve genome assembly from long-read MDA sequencing of single cells, achieving higher completeness and fewer misassemblies.

The paper uses single-cell sequencing to reveal genetic diversity in Bodo flagellates and their bacterial endosymbionts, showing SSU rDNA is insufficient for species classification.

The paper uses whole genome sequencing to analyze genetic differentiation and plasticity in sympatric morphs of Arctic charr across multiple lakes, revealing a polygenic basis and varying levels of reproductive isolation.

This study presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly and annotation of Alopecurus aequalis, revealing its genetic similarity to barley and expansion of herbicide resistance genes.

The paper describes the ERGA Pilot project's efforts to establish standards for sample collection and metadata gathering to support reference genome generation for European biodiversity.

The paper presents a reference genome assembly for the Violet Carpenter Bee, including gene annotation and mitochondrial genome, as part of the European Reference Genome Atlas.

The paper identifies a non-canonical genetic code in a ciliate where UAA and UAG codons specify different amino acids, challenging the universality of the genetic code.
