The Vertebrate Genomes Project Phase I provides high-quality reference genomes for 816 species, enabling evolutionary and conservation insights across vertebrates.

The paper investigates PSMB8 evolution in holosteans, identifying unique S and K types that may impact MHC class I peptide antigen processing.

The paper examines gene expression variability across organs in three ray-finned fish species, finding that brain-biased genes show stable regulation despite inter-individual differences.

The paper identifies conserved notochord-specific enhancers of Brachyury/T/TBXT in vertebrates and shows their role in notochord expression and development.

This study identifies PML and PML-like exonucleases as cytoplasmic suppressors of LINE-1 retrotransposition in jawed vertebrates, showing functional conservation across species.

The paper presents the first high-quality genome assembly and annotations for the Rio Pearlfish, enabling comparative genomic studies of seasonal life history traits and environmental adaptation.

This study investigates frontal bone development in spotted gar, identifying cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with bone formation and highlighting potentially ancestral developmental processes.

RADSex is a computational workflow for analyzing RAD-Seq data to identify sex determination systems, uncovering new sex-specific markers in fish species.

The paper identifies Endothelin-3 as a factor contributing to differences in iridophore development and pigment patterns between Danio rerio and D. nigrofasciatus.

This paper shows DNA methylation factors are crucial for intestinal development across multiple cell types, including neurons and smooth muscle, and identifies them as potential Hirschsprung disease candidates.
