The germline mutation rate determines the pace of genome evolution and is an evolving
parameter itself. However, little is known about what determines its evolution, as most …

Studying repeated adaptation can provide insights into the mechanisms allowing species to
adapt to novel environments. Here, we investigate repeated evolution driven by habitat …

Characterizing the nature of genetic differentiation among individuals and populations and
its distribution across the genome is increasingly important to inform both conservation and …

Understanding how natural populations will respond to contemporary changes in climate is
becoming increasingly urgent and of fundamental importance for the preservation of future …

Inference of demographic histories using whole-genome datasets has provided insights into
diversification, adaptation, hybridization, and plant–pathogen interactions, and stimulated …

Genome sequences can reveal the extent of inbreeding in small populations. Here, we
present the first genomic characterization of type D killer whales, a distinctive …

In daily practice of de novo genome assembly and gene prediction, it would be a natural
urge to evaluate their products. Different programs and parameter settings give rise to …

Abstract Mesua ferrea (Family: Calophyllaceae) is a tropical forest plant used for timber,
biofuel, and traditional medicine. Colloquially, it is known as Nagkesar (Cobra saffron) and …

Here we report Illumina-based whole genome sequencing of three rockfish species of
Sebastes in northwest Pacific. The whole genomic DNA was used to prepare 350-bp pair …

Madagascar's biodiversity is notoriously threatened by deforestation and climate change.
Many of these organisms are rare, cryptic, and severely threatened, making population-level …
