The paper investigates hatching failure in Alala, the Hawaiian crow, after a near-extinction event, identifying recessive lethal haplotypes as the main cause.

This study shows that genetic differentiation in Atlantic silverside fish is concentrated in chromosomal inversions and centromeres, especially under higher gene flow, supporting their role in adaptive divergence.

A 240-species placental mammal alignment resolves constraint to single bases, estimating at least 10.7% of the human genome is constrained, with 48.5% of constrained bases unannotated.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of the Atlantic silverside and reports high heterozygosity and extensive structural variation linked to local adaptation.
