Transposable elements (TEs) are selfish genetic elements that mobilize in genomes via
transposition or retrotransposition and often make up large fractions of vertebrate genomes …

The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) is composed of three homologous subunits and
allows the flow of Na+ ions across high resistance epithelia, maintaining body salt and water …

The Ensembl gene annotation system has been used to annotate over 70 different
vertebrate species across a wide range of genome projects. Furthermore, it generates the …

Incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) makes ancestral genetic polymorphisms persist during
rapid speciation events, inducing incongruences between gene trees and species trees. ILS …

Evolution provides the unifying framework with which to understand biology. The coherent
investigation of genic and genomic data often requires comparative genomics analyses …

The koala, the only extant species of the marsupial family Phascolarctidae, is classified as
'vulnerable'due to habitat loss and widespread disease. We sequenced the koala genome …

Abstract The Ensembl project (http://www. ensembl. org) provides genome resources for
chordate genomes with a particular focus on human genome data as well as data for key …

The Genome 10K Project was established in 2009 by a consortium of biologists and
genome scientists determined to facilitate the sequencing and analysis of the complete …

Globally, 15,521 animal species are listed as threatened by the International Union for the
Conservation of Nature, and of these less than 3% have genomic resources that can inform …

Satellite DNAs are now regarded as powerful and active contributors to genomic and
chromosomal evolution. Paired with mobile transposable elements, these repetitive …
