The paper shows adaptive molecular convergence is common across deep time but not linked to phenotypic convergence.

The paper uses genomic data to investigate arachnid phylogeny, finding that ancient whole genome duplications and fusion-with-mixing events do not resolve conflicts in higher-level relationships.

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly of Bougainvillia cf. muscus, revealing synteny with other cnidarians and insights into vision-related gene evolution.

This paper presents the genome of Acanthopleura granulata, revealing conserved biomineralization genes and iron-related adaptations in chitons.
