Although interest in Acanthocephala seems to have reached only a small community of
researchers worldwide, we show in this opinion article that this group of parasites is …

Repetitive DNA is a major organizational component of eukaryotic genomes, being
intrinsically related with their architecture and evolution. Tandemly repeated satellite DNAs …

Genome assemblies are currently being produced at an impressive rate by consortia and
individual laboratories. The low costs and increasing efficiency of sequencing technologies …

The spatial folding of chromosomes inside the nucleus has regulatory effects on gene
expression, yet the impact of genome reshuffling on this organization remains unclear. Here …

Studying the similarities and differences in genomic interactions between species provides
fertile grounds for determining the evolutionary dynamics underpinning genome function …

Chromosome folding has profound impacts on gene regulation, whose evolutionary
consequences are far from being understood. Here we explore the relationship between 3D …

Genomic studies of vertebrate chromosome evolution have long been hindered by the
scarcity of chromosome-scale DNA sequences of some key taxa. One of those limiting taxa …

Satellites are an abundant source of repetitive DNAs that play an essential role in the
chromosomal organization and are tightly linked with the evolution of sex chromosomes …

Structural variants (SVs) are large rearrangements (> 50 bp) within the genome that impact
gene function and the content and structure of chromosomes. As a result, SVs are a …

Environmental change is intensifying the biodiversity crisis and threatening species across
the tree of life. Conservation genomics can help inform conservation actions and slow …
