This paper introduces an anchor-based scaffolding framework for homology-based ordering of contigs, achieving accuracy comparable to state-of-the-art methods, especially in multi-reference settings.

The paper identifies recently evolved, stage-specific genes enriched at life stage transitions in dipteran species, suggesting ongoing evolutionary processes shaping developmental transitions.

The paper identifies multiple TR gene copies in Andrena bees that generate diverse telomeric repeats, showing TR gene duplication drives telomere sequence diversity in insects.
