Zoonomia is the largest comparative genomics resource for mammals produced to date. By
aligning genomes for 240 species, we identify bases that, when mutated, are likely to affect …

Although primarily studied through the lens of community ecology, phenomena consistent
with priority effects appear to be widespread across many different scenarios spanning a …

Species persistence can be influenced by the amount, type, and distribution of diversity
across the genome, suggesting a potential relationship between historical demography and …

The cognitive abilities of humans are distinctive among primates, but their molecular and
cellular substrates are poorly understood. We used comparative single-nucleus …

We examined transposable element (TE) content of 248 placental mammal genome
assemblies, the largest de novo TE curation effort in eukaryotes to date. We found that …

Horizontal transfer of transposable elements (TEs) is an important mechanism contributing
to genetic diversity and innovation. Bats (order Chiroptera) have repeatedly been shown to …

Mammal genomics has progressed at an uneven pace—half sloth, half cheetah—owing to
various technical obstacles, including the complexity of eukaryotic genomes, difficulties …

The timing of the placental mammal radiation has been the focus of debate over the efficacy
of competing methods for establishing evolutionary timescales. Molecular clock analyses …

The placenta becomes one of the most diversified organs during placental mammal
radiation. The main in vitro model for studying mouse trophoblast development is the 2D …

Vocal production learning (“vocal learning”) is a convergently evolved trait in vertebrates. To
identify brain genomic elements associated with mammalian vocal learning, we integrated …
