The widespread occurrence of repetitive stretches of DNA in genomes of organisms across
the tree of life imposes fundamental challenges for sequencing, genome assembly, and …

In the wake of constant improvements in sequencing technologies, numerous insect
genomes have been sequenced. Currently, 1219 insect genome‐sequencing projects have …

Allotetraploid cotton is an economically important natural-fiber-producing crop worldwide.
After polyploidization, Gossypium hirsutum L. evolved to produce a higher fiber yield and to …

We report the first annotated chromosome-level reference genome assembly for pea, Gregor
Mendel's original genetic model. Phylogenetics and paleogenomics show genomic …

Crustacea, the subphylum of Arthropoda which dominates the aquatic environment, is of
major importance in ecology and fisheries. Here we report the genome sequence of the …

INTRODUCTION The ruminants are one of the most successful mammalian lineages,
exhibiting extensive morphological and ecological diversity and containing several key …

Structural variants (SVs) are a largely unexplored feature of plant genomes. Little is known
about the type and size of SVs, their distribution among individuals and, especially, their …

Corals and the reef ecosystems that they support are in global decline due to increasing
anthropogenic pressures such as climate change. However, effective reef conservation …

Chaetognaths (arrow worms) are an enigmatic group of marine animals whose phylogenetic
position remains elusive, in part because they display a mix of developmental and …

Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is an allotetraploid species derived from recent whole
genome duplication and provides a model to study polyploid genome evolution in …
