This study integrates genomic, transcriptomic, and morphological data from the small-spotted catshark to uncover molecular mechanisms underlying sensory organ evolution in jawed vertebrates.

This paper reports the 3D genome architecture of a 52,000-year-old woolly mammoth using a novel method, revealing conserved epigenetic features across elephantids.

The paper uses ultra-deep Hi-C and a new computational method to fine-map nuclear compartments, revealing that active promoters and enhancers localize in the A compartment even when adjacent sequences are inactive.

The paper presents a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly, DNA methylome, and cranial morphology analysis of an Alpine dingo, supporting its status as an archetype for evolutionary studies.

The paper shows that the lncRNA Airn recruits Polycomb Repressive Complexes to silence genes during mouse embryogenesis through chromatin contacts and regulatory elements.

The paper analyzes synteny patterns across insect genomes, finding that synteny scales with clade age and that some beetle chromosomes maintain gene order over 200 million years.

The paper presents two high-quality Basenji genome assemblies and compares structural variations across three dog breeds, highlighting the impact of reference genome choice on variant detection.

This study identifies nuclear architecture disruption as a mechanism underlying SARS-CoV-2 induced anosmia by analyzing human and hamster olfactory tissues.

The paper presents a chromosomal-level genome assembly for the scimitar-horned oryx and analyzes genetic diversity and demographic history in captive populations.

The paper reports the high-quality genome assembly of Pecten maximus, revealing gene duplicates and highlighting Nav1 as a candidate for toxin resistance.

The paper presents an improved Aedes aegypti genome assembly, AaegL5, which enhances biological understanding and vector control efforts by resolving key genomic features and identifying new targets for intervention.

Point-and-click correction of misassemblies on Hi-C heatmaps, paired with the automated 3D-DNA pipeline, gave chromosome-length wombat, opossum and raccoon scaffolds from just short-insert DNA-Seq and in situ Hi-C reads.

This study shows that cohesin loss eliminates loop domains, causing superenhancer links and gene downregulation, which are reversible upon cohesin restoration.
