A new chromosome-level genome assembly for western painted turtle Chrysemys picta belli, a model for extreme physiological adaptations

|
By Junhao Chen, John Bermingham, Patrick Minx, Milinn Kremitzky
| BioRxiv
Abstract The western painted turtle, Chrysemys picta bellii, has the greatest tolerance to anoxia of any tetrapod studied to date. These turtles reside in the northern United States and southern Canada, and survive months of anoxia while submerged in ice-locked ponds and bogs. Reference genomes provide an important resource for elucidating the molecular bases for such unique physiological traits.

| g3journal.org
The importance of the Gallus gallus (chicken) as a model organism and agricultural animal merits a continuation of sequence assembly improvement efforts. We present a new version of the chicken genome assembly (Gallus_gallus-5.0; GCA_000002315.3), built from combined long single molecule sequencing technology, finished BACs, and improved physical maps.

Genomic analysis reveals hidden biodiversity within colugos, the sister group to primates

| Science Magazine Verified
Colugos are among the most poorly studied mammals despite their centrality to resolving supraordinal primate relationships. Two described species of these gliding mammals are the sole living members of the order Dermoptera, distributed throughout Southeast Asia.
