    Three chromosome-level duck genome assemblies provide insights into genomic variation during domestication

    Domestic ducks are raised for meat, eggs and feather down, and almost all varieties are descended from the Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos). Here, we report chromosome-level high-quality genome assemblies for meat...

    Towards complete and error-free genome assemblies of all vertebrate species

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

    LINE retrotransposons characterize mammalian tissue-specific and evolutionarily dynamic regulatory regions

    To investigate the mechanisms driving regulatory evolution across tissues, we experimentally mapped promoters, enhancers, and gene expression in the liver, brain, muscle, and testis from ten diverse mammals.
