The pig X and Y chromosomes: structure, sequence and evolution

This paper presents improved assemblies and gene annotations for the pig X and Y chromosomes, revealing evolutionary mechanisms and gene content differences compared to other mammals.

Genome-wide comparative analysis reveals human- mouse regulatory landscape and evolution

The paper compares regulatory sequences between human and mouse to show how regulatory elements are conserved, repurposed, and exapted across species.

Alignathon: A competitive assessment of whole genome alignment methods.

The paper organizes a competitive evaluation of whole genome alignment methods using simulated and real datasets, finding significant accuracy differences between tools and performance variations across evolutionary distances.
