An updated phylogeny of bats is presented, based on new genome assemblies and many ancient fossils and including all known bat families.

Carnivorous plants capture and digest insects for nutrients, an adaptive strategy typically found in wetlands. This study identifies carnivory in the alpine Saxifraga plant lineage, supporting Darwin's hypothesis of carnivory in this genus.

Annevo uses deep learning to achieve unprecedented accuracy in eukaryotic gene annotation, approaching the performance of evidence-based methods.

Long-read sequencing enables high-quality genome assemblies, but challenges remain. Here, the authors introduce Cornetto, a method that improves assembly quality, enables genome sequencing from saliva...

High-sugar diets cause human metabolic diseases, yet several bird lineages convergently adapted to feeding on sugar-rich nectar or fruits. We investigated the underlying molecular mechanisms in hummin...

Long-read sequencing data is useful for detecting large and complex structural variations; however, technical artifacts can lead to false structural variant calls. In our analyses, we became aware of ...

AbstractMotivation. Long-read sequencing (LRS) is increasingly used for human medical research and clinical diagnostics, due to its capacity to generate co

Aguilar-Gómez et al. use exome sequencing of 347 strawberry poison frogs to uncover the genetic basis of color variation. They identify that kit, ttc39b, and bco1 underlie blue-red, yellow-red, and gr...

The pursuit of complete telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assembly in plants, challenged by genomic complexity, has been advanced by Oxford Nanopore T…

Hi-C methods for studying 3D genome structure typically require millions of cells and struggle with repetitive regions. Here, authors develop CiFi, combining 3C with PacBio HiFi sequencing, enabling c...

Changes in this Release New Features Added full support for PacBio CiFi read preprocessing, including CiFi-specific metrics, biologically precise cut-site handling, examples, and test datasets. Re...

Xenarthrans, comprising sloths, anteaters, and armadillos, represent one of the most morphologically and physiologically specialised mammalian clades, yet the genomic basis of their adaptations remain...

Human genome resequencing typically involves mapping reads to a reference genome to call variants; however, this approach suffers from both technical and reference biases, leaving many duplicated and ...

Background: Genetic mosaicism is a consequence of CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing that is difficult to study, especially when it involves structural variants occurring at low frequency. A comprehensive ana...

Ant queens of one species clone ants of another to create hybrid workers that do their bidding.

Long-read sequencing provides a more complete view of the genome than short-read sequencing, with advantages in the detection of structural variants, tandem repeats, and small variants (single nucleot...

Four new species of the poorly known genus Megapleonum Huang, Shih & Ahyong, 2018, are described from Guangdong Province, China: Megapleonum falx sp. nov. from Huizhou City, M. yangdongense sp. no...

Reference genomes from representative species across families provide the critical infrastructure for research and conservation. The Cetacean Genomes Project...

Multiple displacement amplification (MDA) outperforms conventional PCR in long fragment and whole-genome amplification, making it attractive to couple MDA with long-read sequencing of samples with li...
