The paper presents chromosome-scale genomes for two walnut species and identifies gene presence/absence differences linked to fungal defense mechanisms between tolerant and susceptible populations.

This paper develops a DNA extraction protocol for museum-grade insects, enabling long-read sequencing, phylogenetics, and methylation profiling from degraded samples.

This study examines microbial, dietary, and pathogen communities in fresh and decomposing bat guano from anthropic maternity colonies, showing how decomposition and roost environment affect these communities.

The paper constructs a pangenome of threatened mink subspecies to identify adaptive signatures and evolutionary history using genome assemblies and functional analysis.

The paper investigates how neocentromeres reshape chromatin and identifies conserved features of native centromeres using haplotype-resolved assemblies and multi-omics data.

The paper sequenced genomes of two invasive adelgid species to identify potential targets for selective insecticides through comparative analysis and virtual screening.

The paper identifies centromeric transposable elements and epigenetic features in the eastern hoolock gibbon that contribute to karyotypic variation and chromosomal instability.

This paper presents the first chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation for the desert hairy scorpion Hadrurus arizonensis, providing a critical resource for arachnid phylogeny and functional genomics.

The paper presents methylation profiles for two maple species using long-read sequencing to quantify methylation across all 5mC contexts, revealing patterns in transposable elements and gene regulation.

The paper presents a chromosome-scale reference genome for butternut (Juglans cinerea), an endangered species, using Oxford Nanopore sequencing and scaffolding with a related species genome.
