HapSolo: an optimization approach for removing secondary haplotigs during diploid genome assembly and scaffolding

BMC Bioinformatics, 2021
Background Despite marked recent improvements in long-read sequencing technology, the assembly of diploid genomes remains a difficult task. A major obstacle is distinguishing between alternative contigs that represent highly heterozygous regions.

Divergent Specialization of Simple Venom Gene Profiles among Rear-Fanged Snake Genera (Helicops and Leptodeira, Dipsadinae, Colubridae)

Toxins, 2022
Many venomous animals express toxins that show extraordinary levels of variation both within and among species. In snakes, most studies of venom variation focus on front-fanged species in the families Viperidae and Elapidae, even though rear-fanged ...

Lack of host phylogenetic structure in the gut bacterial communities of New Zealand cicadas and their interspecific hybrids

Scientific Reports, 2022
Host-microbe interactions are intimately linked to eukaryotic evolution, particularly in sap-sucking insects that often rely on obligate microbial symbionts for nutrient provisioning.

Origin and diversification of Lake Ohrid’s endemic acroloxid limpets: the role of geography and ecology [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Ancient Lake Ohrid, located on the Albania-Macedonia border, is the most biodiverse freshwater lake in Europe. However, the processes that gave rise to its extraordinary endemic biodiversity, particularly in the species-rich gastropods, are ...
