Open AccessRaptor genomes reveal evolutionary signatures of predatory and nocturnal lifestyles
Birds of prey (raptors) are dominant apex predators in terrestrial communities, with hawks (Accipitriformes) and falcons (Falconiformes) hunting by day and owls (Strigiformes) hunting by night.

Open AccessThe genome of the giant Nomura’s jellyfish sheds light on the early evolution of active predation
Unique among cnidarians, jellyfish have remarkable morphological and biochemical innovations that allow them to actively hunt in the water column and were some of the first animals to become free-swimming. The...

Open AccessComparison of carnivore, omnivore, and herbivore mammalian genomes with a new leopard assembly
There are three main dietary groups in mammals: carnivores, omnivores, and herbivores. Currently, there is limited comparative genomics insight into the evolution of dietary specializations in mammals. Due to ...

Open AccessThe first whole genome and transcriptome of the cinereous vulture reveals adaptation in the gastric and immune defense systems and possible convergent evolution between the Old and New World vultures
The cinereous vulture, Aegypius monachus, is the largest bird of prey and plays a key role in the ecosystem by removing carcasses, thus preventing the spread of diseases. Its feeding habits force it to cope with ...

Open AccessWhole genome sequence and analysis of the Marwari horse breed and its genetic origin
The horse (Equus ferus caballus) is one of the earliest domesticated species and has played an important role in the development of human societies over the past 5,000 years. In this study, we characterized the g...

Open AccessVariation block-based genomics method for crop plants
In contrast with wild species, cultivated crop genomes consist of reshuffled recombination blocks, which occurred by crossing and selection processes. Accordingly, recombination block-based genomics analysis c...

Open AccessCOMUS: Clinician-Oriented locus-specific MUtation detection and deposition System
A disease-causing mutation refers to a heritable genetic change that is associated with a specific phenotype (disease). The detection of a mutation from a patient's sample is critical for the diagnosis, treatm...
