This paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of Acrobeloides nanus, revealing genomic features and adaptations related to parthenogenesis and desiccation resistance.

This study compares the genomes of ancient asexual and sexual oribatid mites, finding that asexual species have streamlined genomes with fewer novel genes compared to their sexual relatives.

The paper imputes structural variants using a multi-ancestry long-read sequencing panel and identifies disease associations in large-scale datasets.

The paper shows RNA polymerase II is necessary for spatial chromatin reorganization after mitosis, as demonstrated by Hi-C and in silico modeling.

The paper identifies HMGB2 loss as an early event in senescence that disrupts chromatin organization by inducing CTCF clustering across multiple human cell types.
