The Gasterosteidae fish family hosts several species that are important models for eco-
evolutionary, genetic, and genomic research. In particular, a wealth of genetic and genomic …

Background Comparative genomics approaches help to shed light on evolutionary
processes that shape differentiation between lineages. The nine-spined stickleback …

While the cost and time for assembling a genome has drastically decreased, it still remains a
challenge to assemble a highly contiguous genome. These challenges are rapidly being …

Since the end of the Pleistocene, the three‐spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) has
repeatedly colonized and adapted to various freshwater habitats probably originating from …

Marine populations of the threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) have repeatedly
colonized and rapidly adapted to freshwater habitats, providing a powerful system to map …

Scaffolding genomes into complete chromosome assemblies remains challenging even with
the rapidly increasing sequence coverage generated by current next-generation sequence …

Background Identification of genes involved in adaptation and speciation by targeting
specific genes of interest has become a plausible strategy also for non-model organisms …

In recent years, the explosion of affordable next generation sequencing technology has
provided an unprecedented opportunity to conduct genome‐wide studies of adaptive …

Golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus), a marine fish in the Carangidae family, has a wide
geographical distribution and adapts to severe environmental rigours. It is also an …
