Although RNA sequencing (RNA‐seq) has become the most advanced technology for
transcriptome analysis, it also confronts various challenges. As we all know, the workflow of …

Eukaryotic genomes are generally organized in multiple chromosomes. Here we have
created a functional single-chromosome yeast from a Saccharomyces cerevisiae haploid …

Genetic diversity is the amount of variation observed between DNA sequences from distinct
individuals of a given species. This pivotal concept of population genetics has implications …

Bumble bees are a longstanding model system for studies on behaviour, ecology and
evolution, due to their well‐studied social lifestyle, invaluable role as wild and managed …

Background The morphological peculiarities of turtles have, for a long time, impeded their
accurate placement in the phylogeny of amniotes. Molecular data used to address this major …

The rate at which genomes adapt to environmental changes and the prevalence of adaptive
processes in molecular evolution are two controversial issues in current evolutionary …

Next-generation sequencing plays a central role in the characterization and quantification of
transcriptomes. Although numerous metrics are purported to quantify the quality of RNA …

Ecological and conservation genetics require sampling of organisms in the wild. Appropriate
preservation of the collected samples, usually by cryostorage, is key to the quality of the …

It has long been appreciated that analyses of genomic data (eg, whole genome sequencing
or sequence capture) have the potential to reveal the tree of life, but it remains challenging …

Inferring a realistic demographic model from genetic data is an important challenge to gain
insights into the historical events during the speciation process and to detect molecular …
