The paper introduces snail plots to assess genome assembly quality in a genome-size independent manner and shows they correlate with qualitative assessments of assembly quality.

BlobToolKit combines GC proportion, read coverage and taxonomic hits per contig in an interactive browser Viewer, exposing contaminants and cobionts across public eukaryotic genome assemblies.

The paper examines the genomic effects of recent sexual signal loss in crickets, finding pleiotropy, hitchhiking, and regulatory disruption associated with the trait loss.

Lepbase is a Tier 2 genomic database for Lepidoptera that provides tools for data access and analysis to support research on evolution, speciation, and pesticide resistance.
