Rhodophyta (or red algae) are a diverse and species‐rich group that forms one of three
major lineages in the Archaeplastida, a eukaryotic supergroup whose plastids arose from a …

In the field of genome assembly, scaffolding methods make it possible to obtain a more
complete and contiguous reference genome, which is the cornerstone of genomic research …

Bdelloid rotifers are notorious as a speciose ancient clade comprising only asexual
lineages. Thanks to their ability to repair highly fragmented DNA, most bdelloid species also …

Endogenous viruses form an important proportion of eukaryote genomes and a source of
novel functions. How large DNA viruses integrated into a genome evolve when they confer a …

In the billion-dollar global illegal wildlife trade, rosewoods have been the world's most

The application of high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) technology
enables the construction of chromosome-level assemblies. However, the correction of errors …

Genome-wide chromatin conformation capture assays provide formidable insights into the
spatial organization of genomes. However, due to the complexity of the data structure, their …

Well-annotated and contiguous genomes are an indispensable resource for understanding
the evolution, development, and metabolic capacities of organisms. Sponges, an …

Brown seaweeds are multicellular eukaryotes that have been evolving independently of
animals and plants for more than a billion years. The filamentous brown alga Ectocarpus …
