The chicken continues to hold its position as a leading model organism within many areas of
research, as well as being a major source of protein for human consumption. The First …

Livestock and poultry play a significant role in human nutrition by converting agricultural by-
products into high-quality proteins. To meet the growing demand for safe animal protein …

Abstract Background Transposable elements (TEs) can represent one of the major sources
of genomic variation across eukaryotes, providing novel raw materials for species …

Abstract The Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja) is an iconic species that inhabits forested
landscapes in Neotropical regions, with decreasing population trends mainly due to habitat …

Transposable elements (TEs) are repetitive DNA sequences which create mutations and
generate genetic diversity across the tree of life. In amniote vertebrates, TEs have been …

Pervasive convergent evolution and in part high incidences of hybridization distinguish
wheatears (songbirds of the genus Oenanthe) as a versatile system to address questions at …

Transposable elements (TE) play critical roles in shaping genome evolution. Highly
repetitive TE sequences are also a major source of assembly gaps making it difficult to fully …

The rhodophyte Palmaria palmata (L.) Weber & Mohr is one of the target species of a
growing European seaweed industry due to its high content of protein and essential amino …

Transposable elements (TE) play critical roles in shaping genome evolution. However, the
highly repetitive sequence content of TEs is a major source of assembly gaps. This makes it …

Falcons are diverse birds of cultural and economic importance. They have undergone major
lineage-specific chromosomal rearrangements, resulting in greatly reduced chromosome …
