The paper presents complete GRC assemblies from passerine birds, revealing their composition, evolution, and dynamic nature despite their stability in the avian karyotype.

The paper identifies extensive gene loss and a novel genetic instability called sequence stuttering on avian dot microchromosomes using long-read sequencing.

The paper presents chromosome-level genome assemblies for three hybridizing Cobitis species to study hybrid sterility and asexuality, revealing structural variation and sex chromosome divergence.

The paper identifies vertebrate head-related cell populations in amphioxus, a close relative of the chordate ancestor, through single-cell transcriptomics and functional analysis.

This study shows that Snf2h is essential for retinal progenitor cell proliferation and photoreceptor maintenance, leading to retinal dysfunction when Snf2h is deleted.

The paper shows hybrid asexuality can act as a primary reproductive barrier in speciation, emerging before other postzygotic incompatibilities in Cobitis loaches and other fish species.
