The Vertebrate Genomes Project Phase I provides high-quality reference genomes for 816 species, enabling evolutionary and conservation insights across vertebrates.

This study uses genetic analysis of ancient seal samples to show that southern elephant seals recolonized the Southern Ocean from multiple glacial refugia during postglacial periods.

The paper assesses genetic health and differentiation in Arctic charr populations in North Wales using microsatellite markers, finding high divergence in one population and potential negative impacts of stocking.

The paper generates genome-wide SNP data for manta and devil rays to improve conservation strategies by identifying species and population-level diversity.

This study compares eDNA metabarcoding of sediment and water samples to detect marine species, finding greater diversity in sediment and detecting non-indigenous species.
