Rapid advancement in high-throughput sequencing and analytical approaches has seen a
steady increase in the generation of genomic resources for helminth parasites. Now …

Large-scale genome-structural evolution is common in various organisms. Recent
developments in speciation genomics revealed the importance of inversions, whereas the …

Onion is an important vegetable crop with an estimated genome size of 16 Gb. We describe
the de novo assembly and ab initio annotation of the genome of a doubled haploid onion …

Abstract Background The nematode Caenorhabditis briggsae has been used as a model in
comparative genomics studies with Caenorhabditis elegans because of their striking …

Adaptation of organisms to environmental change may be facilitated by the creation of new
genes. New genes without homologs in other lineages are known as taxonomically …

Animals rely on their nervous systems to process sensory inputs, integrate these with
internal signals, and produce behavioral outputs. This is enabled by the highly specialized …

High-resolution spatial and temporal maps of gene expression have facilitated a
comprehensive understanding of animal development and evolution. In nematodes, the …

The phylotranscriptomic analysis of development in several species revealed the expression
of older and more conserved genes in midembryonic stages and younger and more …

Background Repetitive sequences and mobile elements make up considerable fractions of
individual genomes. While transposition events can be detrimental for organismal fitness …

Animals consume a wide variety of food sources to adapt to different environments.
However, the genetic mechanisms underlying the acquisition of evolutionarily novel feeding …
