The paper presents a high-quality de novo genome assembly of Ansells mole-rat using long-read, short-read, and Hi-C data, enabling genetic and phylogenetic studies.

This study shows that SRSF2 mutations cause DNA damage and cell cycle arrest, highlighting its role in transcription regulation during cell division.

This study identifies a tumor-suppressive strategy in naked mole-rats that couples regenerative cell turnover with a tumor-hostile stromal niche to prevent cancer.
