Ancient and recent riverine gene flow contributed to the adaptive radiation of sailfin silversides in Wallace's Dreampond

Els L. R. De Keyzer, Fabian Herder, Astrid Böhne…·Hannes Svardal

This study investigates gene flow and hybridization in sailfin silversides, finding evidence of both ancient and recent introgression between riverine and lacustrine species in Lake Matano.

A new phased assembly of the Antarctic spiny plunderfish provides novel insights into the evolution of the notothenioid radiation.

Jacopo Martelossi, Ksenia Krasheninnikova, Amy Denton…·Iliana Bista

The paper presents a new phased assembly of the Antarctic spiny plunderfish and identifies genomic features linked to cold adaptation in notothenioids.

On the path to reference genomes for all biodiversity: lessons learned and laboratory protocols created in the Sanger Tree of Life core laboratory over the first 2000 species

Caroline Howard, Amy Denton, Benjamin G. Jackson…·Mara Lawniczak

Across 4883 species, standardised high-molecular-weight DNA extraction passed 96% of chordate and 91% of plant species, while fungi failed at 34.2%; ultra-low-input PacBio libraries rescue many low-yield samples.
