Infinium methylation arrays are not available for the vast majority of non-human mammals.
Moreover, even if species-specific arrays were available, probe differences between them …

A transcriptome constructed from short-read RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is an easily
attainable proxy catalog of protein-coding genes when genome assembly is unnecessary …

Transposable element (TE)-derived sequences are ubiquitous in most eukaryotic genomes
known to date. Because their expression and mobility can lead to genomic instability …

Lungfishes are the closest extant relatives of tetrapods and preserve ancestral traits linked
with the water-to-land transition. However, their huge genome sizes have hindered …

The transition from 'well-marked varieties' of a single species into 'well-defined species'—
especially in the absence of geographic barriers to gene flow (sympatric speciation)—has …

Bats possess extraordinary adaptations, including flight, echolocation, extreme longevity
and unique immunity. High-quality genomes are crucial for understanding the molecular …

The increasing application of RNA sequencing to study non-model species demands easy-
to-use and efficient bioinformatics tools to help researchers quickly uncover biological and …

Abstract Information storage and retrieval is essential for all life. In biology, information is
primarily stored in two distinct ways: the genome, comprising nucleic acids, acts as a …

Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is Earth's most abundant wild animal, and its enormous
biomass is vital to the Southern Ocean ecosystem. Here, we report a 48.01-Gb chromosome …

Fish biology has been developed for more than 100 years, but some important
breakthroughs have been made in the last decade. Early studies commonly concentrated on …
