AbstractBackground. Obtaining chromosomally complete genome assemblies across the tree of life is an important goal of biodiversity genomics. However, some

Sex chromosomes have evolved repeatedly across the Tree of Life, yet their evolutionary fates differ strikingly among lineages. In mammals and birds, highly degenerated Y/W chromosomes have remained s...

BMC Genomics - Transposable elements (TEs) are major components of plant genomes, shaping genome architecture, gene regulation, and evolutionary innovation. While the Extensive de novo TE Annotator...

Heredity - The evolution of tandem repeat sequences under partial selfing and different modes of selection

Flowering plants have many modes of sexual reproduction, notably varying from selfing to outcrossing, and from bisexual flowers to individuals with separate sexes (dioecy). These reproductive modes ...

Transposable elements (TEs) are ubiquitous components of the genome whose mobility can be triggered by environmental stress and influenced by genotype…

The Twist Comprehensive Viral Research Panel (Twist CVRP) is a probe-based hybridization capture enrichment method for whole-genome sequencing, design…

This video is the culmination of several years attempting to: (1) Figure out best practices for modeling protein-protein interactions; (2) Understand the This video is the culmination of several years...

Artificial intelligence boosts individual scientists’ output, citations and career progression, but collectively narrows research diversity and reduces collaboration, concentrating work in data-rich a...

Nature Biotechnology - An open letter to graduate students and other procrastinators: it’s time to write

Background Transposable elements (TEs) are widespread mobile DNA sequences that shape genome structure, function, and evolution. Although automated tools exist for the de novo identification and class...

Introgression between species can shape evolutionary trajectories in important ways. This study of the entire family of the colorful wood-warblers (Parulidae) uses whole-genome sequencing to reveal fr...

Abstract. The maintenance of genomic integrity is paramount for normal cell physiology and survival as well as avoidance of carcinogenesis. Cellular DNA is

Rund 400 Millionen Pflanzenexemplare sind in Herbarien weltweit konserviert – ein wahrer Schatz, der lange vernachlässigt wurde. Heute werden die Pflanzen…

A new study shows that over 90% of insect biomass declines are driven by shrinking species numbers, posing a risk to ecosystem function.

One of the 15 publications that put out the most studies globally has been expelled from the indexing system for irregularities. Its publisher, Elsevier, has a 38% profit margin that reached $1.5 bill...

Abstract. Effective wastewater treatment is of critical importance for preserving public health and protecting natural environments. Key processes in waste
