Construction of High‐Precision Genomic Assembled Sequences and Assessment of the Effect of Its Quality to Population Genetic Analysis of Endangered Okinawa Rail and Japanese Golden Eagle

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
We developed high‐precision genome assemblies for two endangered avian species in Japan, the Okinawa rail and the Japanese golden eagle, using a hybrid approach combining short‐ and long‐read whole genome sequencing technologies. This method improved assembly contiguity, reduced missing data, and enhanced completeness, improving the results of ...

Ecological and conservation significance of herpesvirus infection in Neotropical bats [PDF]

, 2021
Bats are the second most diverse order of mammals and key species for ecosystem functioning, providing a wide range of ecosystem services, from pest control to seed dispersal. Chiropterans are known for hosting a large diversity of viruses, in some cases

Diverse hosts, diverse immune systems: Evolutionary variation in bat immunology

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1550, Issue 1, Page 151-172, August 2025.
Bats are recognized to have distinct immune systems from other vertebrates that may allow them to host virulent pathogens without showing disease. However, these flying mammals are also incredibly diverse, such that bats should not be expected to be immunologically homogenous.

Cryptic hybridization between the ancient lineages of Natterer's bat (Myotis nattereri)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 13, July 2024.
Abstract Studying hybrid zones that form between morphologically cryptic taxa offers valuable insights into the mechanisms of cryptic speciation and the evolution of reproductive barriers. Although hybrid zones have long been the focus of evolutionary studies, the awareness of cryptic hybrid zones increased recently due to rapidly growing evidence of ...

Comparing genomic and epigenomic features across species using the WashU Comparative Epigenome Browser [PDF]

, 2023
Genome browsers have become an intuitive and critical tool to visualize and analyze genomic features and data. Conventional genome browsers display data/annotations on a single reference genome/assembly; there are also genomic alignment viewer/browsers ...
