Abstract Telomere-to-telomere (T2T) assemblies reveal new insights into the structure and
function of the previously 'invisible'parts of the genome and allow comparative analyses of …

The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) reports that by the year
2050 the global human population is likely to reach 9.7 billion, rising to 11.2 billion by 2100 …

Gene regulatory elements are central drivers of phenotypic variation and thus of critical
importance towards understanding the genetics of complex traits. The Functional Annotation …

The functional annotation of livestock genomes is crucial for understanding the molecular
mechanisms that underpin complex traits of economic importance, adaptive evolution and …

Abstract Background The domestic pig (Sus scrofa) is important both as a food source and
as a biomedical model given its similarity in size, anatomy, physiology, metabolism …

A comprehensive characterization of regulatory elements in the chicken genome across
tissues will have substantial impacts on both fundamental and applied research. Here, we …

Accurate species phylogenies are a prerequisite for all evolutionary research. Teleosts are
the largest and most diversified group of extant vertebrates, but relationships among their …

A comprehensive transcriptomic survey of pigs can provide a mechanistic understanding of
tissue specialization processes underlying economically valuable traits and accelerate their …

Background Sheep and goats have undergone domestication and improvement to produce
similar phenotypes, which have been greatly impacted by structural variants (SVs). Here, we …

Eukaryotic genome sequencing and de novo assembly, once the exclusive domain of well-
funded international consortia, have become increasingly affordable, thus fitting the budgets …
