The paper presents haplotype-resolved genomes of six ape species with high accuracy and provides comparative analyses to study evolutionary diversity and gene family evolution.

The paper reports the cloning of two endangered Przewalski's horse stallions from cryopreserved fibroblast cells, marking the first successful production of multiple healthy clones for an endangered species.

Researchers cloned an endangered black-footed ferret using cross-species somatic cell nuclear transfer, producing three healthy kits to aid genetic rescue.

This study identifies genomic and karyotypic changes in geladas that may contribute to high-altitude adaptation and speciation.

The paper generates a chromosome-level genome assembly for the functionally extinct northern white rhinoceros and compares it to the southern white rhinoceros.

The paper summarizes methods and lessons from assembling 16 vertebrate genomes, highlights the importance of long-read sequencing, and introduces the Vertebrate Genomes Project to generate complete reference genomes for all vertebrate species.

The paper generates a high-quality reference genome for the vaquita and analyzes its demographic history, revealing long-term population stability and low genetic diversity.
