The discovery and characterization of transposable element (TE) families are crucial tasks in
the process of genome annotation. Careful curation of TE libraries for each organism is …

Polyploidy or whole-genome duplication (WGD) is a major event that drastically reshapes
genome architecture and is often assumed to be causally associated with organismal …

Whole genome duplication (WGD) is a dramatic evolutionary event generating many new
genes and which may play a role in survival through mass extinctions. Paddlefish and …

Teleost fishes are ancient tetraploids descended from an ancestral whole-genome
duplication that may have contributed to the impressive diversification of this clade. Whole …

As the only surviving lineages of jawless fishes, hagfishes and lampreys provide a crucial
window into early vertebrate evolution,–. Here we investigate the complex history, timing …

The liver is a multitasking organ with essential functions for vertebrate health spanning
metabolism and immunity. In contrast to mammals, our understanding of liver cellular …

Most population genomic tools rely on accurate single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
calling and filtering to meet their underlying assumptions. However, genomic complexity …

Salmonid fishes have emerged as a tractable model to study whole‐genome duplications
(WGDs) as this group has undergone four rounds of WGDs. While most of the salmonid …

Here, we present an annotated, chromosome‐anchored, genome assembly for Lake Trout
(Salvelinus namaycush)–a highly diverse salmonid species of notable conservation concern …

Hybridization and introgression are very common among freshwater fishes due to the
dynamic nature of hydrological landscapes. Cyclic patterns of allopatry and secondary …
