Convergent evolution and horizontal gene transfer in Arctic Ocean microalgaeThe Arctic Ocean stands apart from other oceans. Using multiple genomes and transcriptomes from cultured and environmental sources, we found distinct genetic modifications in Arctic microalgae consistent with biogeographically constrained trait selectivity as an adaptive force in algal evolution.
Molecular insights into high-altitude adaption and acclimatisation of Aporrectodea caliginosaA megabase genome assembly for Aporrectodea caliginosa is presented with transcriptomic and SNP-based evidence for acclimatisation and adaption to extreme weather conditions found at high altitude.
CNVs with adaptive potential in Rangifer tarandus: genome architecture and new annotated assemblyNext-generation sequencing of three caribou ecotypes aligned to a new annotated genome assembly revealed divergent CNVs, including genes with annotations in line with adaptation.
OrtSuite: from genomes to prediction of microbial interactions within targeted ecosystem processesOrtSuite predicts synergistic species interactions using the genomic potential of microbial communities
A carnivorous plant genetic map: pitcher/insect-capture QTL on a genetic linkage map of SarraceniaThis study presents the first genetic map for a carnivorous plant, mapping 64 QTLs in Sarracenia to provide the genetic basis for differences between the pitfall and lobster-trap insect-capture strategies.
