Extended Tiberius models outscore Helixer and ANNEVO on all 33 genomes from the five clades all three tools cover, and approach BRAKER3 accuracy in four clades without extrinsic evidence.

upSPLAT reduces library preparation costs by 10-fold through early barcoding and single-stranded ligation, enabling cost-effective, high-plex sequencing across diverse DNA inputs.

This study examines the ability of diamondback moth to adapt to cardenolide-defended Erysimum cheiranthoides, finding limited adaptation despite existing genetic variation and phenotypic plasticity.

The paper develops a bioinformatics pipeline to integrate Drosophila melanogaster genomic data from diverse sources, creating a large dataset called DEST for population genetics analysis.

The paper identifies a transposable element insertion as the genetic switch for an alternative life history strategy in Colias butterflies, linking it to changes in pigment synthesis and reproductive development.

The paper identifies genes involved in herbivory between butterflies and their host-plants using genome-wide association studies and comparative analyses.
