Ultra-deep sequencing reveals intra-host diversity and co-infection-driven evolution of SARS-CoV-2

Genome-resolved metagenomics and evolutionary analysis reveal conserved metabolic adaptations in extremophile communities from a copper mining tailing

The Silene latifolia genome and its giant Y chromosome

This study reports a high-quality assembly of the male Silene latifolia genome and resolves one of the largest known plant Y chromosomes. The work links repeat accumulation, recombination suppression, and chromosome restructuring to the origin of …

Genomes of the Orestias pupfish from the Andean Altiplano shed light on their evolutionary history and phylogenetic relationships within Cyprinodontiformes

We generated genome resources for three Orestias species from the Andean Altiplano and used them to reassess the position of this group within Cyprinodontiformes. The analysis shows that Orestias is more closely related to South American lineages …

The transposable element-rich genome of the cereal pest Sitophilus oryzae

The rice weevil Sitophilus oryzae is one of the most important agricultural pests, causing extensive damage to cereal in fields and to stored grains. S. oryzae has an intracellular symbiotic relationship (endosymbiosis) with the Gram-negative …

Genomic variation underlying complex life-history traits revealed by genome sequencing in Chinook salmon

A broad portfolio of phenotypic diversity in natural organisms can buffer against exploitation and increase species persistence in disturbed ecosystems. The study of genomic variation that accounts for ecological and evolutionary adaptation can …
