This study investigates the origins and adaptive consequences of polyploidy in the prairie grass Andropogon gerardi, finding that whole genome duplication is common and provides fitness advantages in xeric climates.

The paper presents a new chromosome-level genome assembly for the western painted turtle, improving upon a previous fragmented assembly and revealing novel genes and transcript isoforms.

The paper examines genome evolution in maize and related grasses, revealing variable outcomes of polyploidy across species.

The paper presents a new domestic cat genome assembly using long-read sequencing, identifies novel variants associated with cancer and dwarfism, and highlights the utility of feline genomics for biomedical research.

The paper presents a high-quality quail genome and uses it to study social behavior, photoperiodism, and immune response to H5N1 influenza.

The paper presents a comparative genomic analysis of six Glossina species, identifying genetic features related to their unique biology and vectorial capacity.
