Haplotype-resolved reference genomes of the sea turtle clade unveil ultra-syntenic genomes with hotspots of divergence

Larissa Souza Arantes, Tom Brown, Diego N. De Panis…·Camila Junqueira Mazzoni

The paper presents haplotype-resolved genomes for five sea turtle species, revealing conserved synteny and divergence hotspots linked to immune and sensory genes, and population expansion during the Pleistocene.

Population level mitogenomics of the long-lived Greater Mouse-eared bat, Myotis myotis, reveals dynamic heteroplasmy and challenges the Free Radical Theory of Ageing

David Jebb, Nicole M. Foley, Conor Whelan…·Emma C. Teeling

The paper analyzes mitochondrial heteroplasmy in aging bats to test the Free Radical Theory of Ageing, finding age-related increases but dynamic patterns inconsistent with the theory.
