This paper introduces Mespilia globulus as a new sea urchin model with rapid development and tractability for genomic and developmental studies, showing a conservative gene repertoire and no heteromorphic sex chromosomes.

This study shows parental care in burying beetles acts as a genetic capacitor, storing and releasing genetic variation in offspring body size through molecular mechanisms involving chaperones and chromatin state.

The paper identifies epigenomically conserved promoters and enhancers in the heart, links them to cardiovascular trait variation, and shows their impact on cardiomyocyte phenotypes through experimental validation.

The paper identifies a conserved global control region for Hox gene regulation in annelids and shows convergent evolution of cluster-wide regulatory mechanisms in vertebrates and spiralians.

The paper identifies accelerated gene expression and regulatory evolution in mole-rats by integrating transcriptomics and cis-regulatory analysis across species.

The paper identifies the origin of a luciferase gene from haloalkane dehalogenases in brittle stars and shows parallel evolution of bioluminescence across distant species.

This study analyzes the hagfish genome to understand vertebrate evolution, identifying ancient genome duplications and their functional roles in vertebrate innovations.

The paper uses phylogenetic modeling to analyze epigenomic changes in mole-rats and identifies regulatory elements associated with metabolic and hypoxia-related traits.

The paper constructs a high-resolution comparative atlas of paleopolyploid regions across 74 teleost genomes to study rediploidization and finds that some duplicated regions remained tetraploid for over 60 million years.

The paper identifies conserved small nucleotide sequences that drive piRNA biogenesis from genes and lncRNAs, revealing a new regulatory pathway in insect and mammalian species.

SCORPiOs improves gene phylogenies in teleost fish by integrating syntenic information, resolving inconsistencies in 70% of gene families and enhancing congruence with species trees and expression patterns.
