The paper finds that collagen genes in Daphnia magna show thermal adaptation through amino acid composition changes linked to temperature tolerance.

This paper presents a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of Daphnia magna using PacBio HiFi sequencing, resolving scaffolding issues and providing gene expression profiles for comparative genomic studies.

The paper presents the first genome assembly of Potamopyrgus antipodarum, revealing a recent whole-genome duplication and its potential role in asexuality transitions.

The paper extends the stdpopsim simulation framework to include realistic selection models, enabling studies of selection's impact on genetic variation across species.

This paper introduces GPN-Star, a phylogeny-informed genomic language model that improves variant effect prediction across species and evolutionary timescales.

This study compares genome and epigenetic architecture across multiple microsporidia clades, finding limited conservation and significant variation in genetic features and epigenetic modifications.

This study sequences the giant Y chromosome of Silene latifolia and reveals its structure, function, and evolutionary history.

The paper analyzes the evolution of the Pasteuria Resistance Complex (PRC) in Daphnia magna, revealing its extreme genetic diversity and ancient origins, with implications for understanding parasite resistance evolution.

This study shows that trehalose production, mediated by the TPS gene, enables Daphnia magna to tolerate salinity stress, with tolerance linked to native habitat salinity and local adaptation.

The paper analyzes SFS dynamics in a Daphnia magna metapopulation to show how propagule model and immigration influence allele frequency shifts compared to classical populations.

This paper sequences and analyzes the genomes of two New Zealand snail species, showing their genetic similarity, introgression between them, and their relationship to the invasive P. antipodarum.

The paper sequences two high-quality genomes of Pasteuria ramosa isolates, revealing rapid CLP gene radiation and gene family dynamics driven by transposition and coevolution.

This paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for Silene conica using PacBio HiFi, Hi-C, and Bionano technologies, revealing a reduced chromosome number and a large mitochondrial genome.

This paper presents a near-chromosomal genome assembly of Hamiltosporidium tvaerminnensis and provides high-quality gene annotations using Iso-Seq, revealing alternative polyadenylation and splicing variation.

The paper identifies genomic associations between host and parasite loci in Daphnia magna and Pasteuria ramosa, showing evidence of antagonistic coevolution through epistatic interactions.

The paper compares genetic variation in two outbred mouse stocks, showing J:DO has higher genetic diversity and more damaging variants, while J:ARC is more suitable for general research due to lower variability.

The paper reports the complete sequence of a 641-kb mitochondrial DNA insertion in the Arabidopsis thaliana nuclear genome using long-read sequencing technologies.

The paper identifies a core set of 675 genes with consistent sex-biased expression in three Daphnia species, showing a female overexpression bias and similar proportions to species with genetic sex determination.
