From Neuropeptides to Toxins: Illuminating the Origins of Venom Complexity in Cone Snails

Thomas Lund Koch, Giada Ferrari, Sunita B. Sumanam…·Helena Safavi-Hemami

The paper identifies how neuropeptide genes in cone snails evolved into toxins through mechanisms like exon shuffling and transposable element-driven recombination, revealing dynamic genome-molecular innovation interactions.

New genomic resources for an invasive mite pest expand the known diversity of pesticide resistance mechanisms and guide development of KASP diagnostic markers

Joshua A. Thia, Kelly M. Richardson, Courtney Brown…·Ary A. Hoffmann

This paper presents a chromosome-level genome and genomic dataset for the invasive mite Halotydeus destructor, identifies pesticide resistance mutations, and develops KASP markers for resistance diagnostics.
