The paper annotates neuropeptides and GPCRs in Gryllus bimaculatus and predicts ligand-receptor pairs using AlphaFold3 and Boltz-2, providing a resource for studying insect endocrinology.

The paper presents high-quality chromosome-scale genome assemblies for two Heterosigma akashiwo strains from Japan and France, revealing extensive synteny and gene content.

The paper optimizes ATAC-seq for low-input and cryopreserved chicken primordial germ cells, identifying PGC-specific chromatin regions and their functional roles.

MarpolBase provides high-quality reference genomes for Marchantia polymorpha and offers tools for genome analysis and gene nomenclature.

MedakaBase provides a centralized platform for genomic resources and analysis tools for medaka fish, including gene models and omics data for multiple Oryzias species.

The paper presents a high-quality chromosome-scale genome assembly for the American Shorthair domestic cat breed, improving upon previous fragmented assemblies.

This study identifies the prevalence of a conventional PKD1 variant in cats and discovers four new PKD1 variants in exon 15 associated with ADPKD.

This study reports the diploid genome of the free-living diatom Nitzschia putrida and identifies genetic changes associated with its transition from a photosynthetic to a non-parasitic secondary heterotrophic lifestyle.
