The sensory shark: high-quality morphological, genomic and transcriptomic data for the small spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicula reveal the molecular bases of sensory organ evolution in jawed vertebrates

This study integrates genomic, transcriptomic, and morphological data from the small-spotted catshark to uncover molecular mechanisms underlying sensory organ evolution in jawed vertebrates.

Balanced chromosomal rearrangements offer insights into coding and noncoding genomic features associated with developmental disorders

The paper analyzes balanced chromosomal rearrangements in developmental disorders, finding noncoding variants disrupt TADs and contribute to pathogenic long-range positional effects.

Convergent selection on juvenile hormone signaling is associated with the evolution of eusociality in bees

The paper identifies genomic signatures and loci associated with convergent gains and losses of eusociality in sweat bees, linking them to juvenile hormone signaling proteins.

Chromosome size affects sequence divergence between species through the interplay of recombination and selection

The paper investigates how chromosome size influences sequence divergence between species by analyzing empirical data and evolutionary simulations across mammalian clades.

Limited evidence for parallel evolution among desert adapted Peromyscus deer mice

The paper examines genome evolution in desert-adapted Peromyscus mice and finds limited evidence for parallel evolution, suggesting divergent molecular mechanisms of adaptation.
