Knowing phylogenetic relationships among species is fundamental for many studies in
biology. An accurate phylogenetic tree underpins our understanding of the major transitions …

We present several recent improvements to minimap2, a versatile pairwise aligner for
nucleotide sequences. Now minimap2 v2. 22 can more accurately map long reads to highly …

The success of many clinical, association, or population genetics studies critically relies on
properly performed variant calling step. The variety of modern genomics protocols …

Single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) in segmental duplications (SDs) have not been
systematically assessed because of the limitations of mapping short-read sequencing data …

Ethiopian mustard (Brassica carinata) in the Brassicaceae family possesses many excellent
agronomic traits. Here, the high-quality genome sequence of B. carinata is reported …

Orthology assignment is a key step of comparative genomic studies, for which many
bioinformatic tools have been developed. However, all gene clustering pipelines are based …

The Lepidoptera are an insect order of cultural, economic, and environmental importance,
representing∼ 10% of all described living species. Yet, for all but one of these species …

The eutherian-specific SNORD116 family of repeated box C/D snoRNA genes is suspected
to play a major role in the Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS), yet its molecular function remains …

Although gene duplication is an important source of evolutionary innovation, the functional
divergence of duplicates can be opposed by ongoing gene conversion between them. Here …

The Poales is one of the largest orders of flowering plants with significant economic and
ecological values. Reconstructing the phylogeny of the Poales is important for …
