This study shows that regional history, not phylogeny or range size, primarily shapes demographic changes in Indo-West Pacific sea snakes over the last 200 thousand years.

This study examines genomic divergence and diversity in three Hydrophis sea snake species, finding shared demographic patterns and linked selection, with chemosensory genes showing elevated diversity.

The paper uses genomic data to reveal shared and distinct genetic structures among three sea snake species across different geographic regions, highlighting conservation implications.

This study investigates SWS1 opsin gene expansion and expression in sea snakes, revealing multiple copy number transitions and spectral subtype divergence in marine lineages.

The paper examines opsin gene retention and selection pressures in Australian scincid lizards to understand visual adaptations in fossorial and surface species.

The paper describes horizontal transfer of the Harbinger-Snek DNA transposon into sea kraits and its rapid genomic expansion, contributing to adaptation to an amphibious-marine lifestyle.

geaR is an R package for evolutionary analysis of genome-wide genotype data, enabling efficient querying and analysis of genetic diversity and admixture using GDS format.

This study uses a zebrafish model of familial Alzheimer’s disease to show accelerated brain aging and transcriptional inversion linked to glucocorticoid resistance and immune pathway changes before histopathology.
