The paper reports the genome of Paramecium aurelia, revealing tiny germline chromosomes with an exceptionally high recombination rate and a new class of Helitrons at their ends.

The paper presents the genome of Pinctada radiata, a Lessepsian migrant, providing insights into its genetic adaptations to environmental changes and supporting conservation efforts.

This study analyzes 60 brown algal genomes to identify genomic innovations and evolutionary patterns that enabled their adaptation to coastal ecosystems.

The paper reports higher gene counts in two coral genomes due to tandem duplications, suggesting a role in immune system and disease resistance.

The paper investigates the evolutionary origin of Internal Eliminated Sequences (IESs) in Paramecium genomes, showing transposable elements drive their proliferation and diversification.

This study analyzes 13 Paramecium species with a shared ancestral whole-genome duplication to reveal trends in post-duplication gene retention and selective pressures.

This study compares genomes of ameiotic root-knot nematodes to meiotic relatives, finding TE-rich composite genomes from hybridization events that may enhance parasitic success without sex.
