The formation of new blood vessels, or angiogenesis, is a complex process that plays
important roles in growth and development, tissue and organ regeneration, as well as …

The world demand for animal-based food products is anticipated to increase by 70% by
2050. Meeting this demand in a way that has a minimal impact on the environment will …

Microchromosomes are prevalent in nonmammalian vertebrates [PD Waters et al., Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 118 (2021)], but a few of them are missing in bird genome assemblies …

High-quality and complete reference genome assemblies are fundamental for the
application of genomics to biology, disease, and biodiversity conservation. However, such …

We investigated genome folding across the eukaryotic tree of life. We find two types of three-
dimensional (3D) genome architectures at the chromosome scale. Each type appears and …

Despite tremendous efforts in the past decades, relationships among main avian lineages
remain heavily debated without a clear resolution. Discrepancies have been attributed to …

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 …

Successful development of biological databases requires accommodation of the burgeoning
amounts of data from high-throughput genomics pipelines. As the volume of curated data in …

Providing high-quality food for the increasing world population with limited natural resources
is a challenge for animal agriculture. Over the past decades, poultry production has …

To better determine the history of modern birds, we performed a genome-scale phylogenetic
analysis of 48 species representing all orders of Neoaves using phylogenomic methods …
