This study identifies two melanic pigmentation patterns in Xiphophorus nezahualcoyotl linked to the sex chromosome-linked oncogene xmrk through long-read sequencing and GWAS.

This study identifies a retrovirus insertion near the alkal2a gene as the genetic basis for a novel iridescent color trait in swordtail fish, showing its role in chromatin changes and predator interaction signals.

The paper identifies a genetic basis for a sexual mimicry polymorphism in swordtail fish and links it to behavioral interactions that may maintain the polymorphism.

The paper identifies and characterizes a skin microbiome on C. elegans, showing that environmental microbes protect the cuticle in harsh conditions.
