High-quality reference genomes are increasingly recognized as essential resources in biodiversity genomics and conservation. However, successful DNA extraction and long-read sequencing remain highly…

Abstract. The explosion of body forms found in bilaterians is thought to be tied to the diversification of Hox transcription factors, which play a critical

We present haplotype-resolved whole-genome assemblies from one individual European river lamprey ( Lampetra fluviatilis ) and one individual brook lamprey ( Lampetra planeri ), usually regarded as…

Biological clocks are a ubiquitous feature of all life, enabling the use of natural environmental cycles to track time. Although studies on circadian rhythms have contributed greatly to the knowledge ...

Abstract. —Xenacoelomorpha are mostly microscopic, morphologically simple worms, lacking many structures typical of other bilaterians. Xenacoelomorphs—whic

In phylogenomics, regions of low alignment reliability and high noise are typically trimmed from multiple sequence alignments before they are used in phylogenetic inference. I introduce a new trimming...
