Species-wide genomics of kākāpō provides transformational tools to accelerate recovery Open
The kākāpō is a critically endangered, intensively managed, long-lived nocturnal parrot endemic to Aotearoa New Zealand. We generated and analyzed whole-genome sequence data for nearly all individuals living in early 2018 (169 individuals)…

The sea urchin stem-loop-binding protein: a maternally expressed protein that probably functions in expression of multiple classes of histone mRNA Open
Following the completion of oogenesis and oocyte maturation, histone mRNAs are synthesized and stored in the sea urchin egg pronucleus. Histone mRNAs are the only mRNAs that are not polyadenylated but instead end in a stem–loop which has b…

Towards complete and error-free genome assemblies of all vertebrate species Open
High-quality and complete reference genome assemblies are fundamental for the application of genomics to biology, disease, and biodiversity conservation. However, such assemblies are only available for a few non-microbial species 1–4 . To …

Divergence in problem-solving skills is associated with differential expression of glutamate receptors in wild finches Open
Wild birds that vary in their problem-solving capacity were found to express different neurotransmitter receptor densities.

<i>De novo</i> PacBio long-read and phased avian genome assemblies correct and add to reference genes generated with intermediate and short reads Open
Reference-quality genomes are expected to provide a resource for studying gene structure, function, and evolution. However, often genes of interest are not completely or accurately assembled, leading to unknown errors in analyses or additi…

<i>De Novo</i>PacBio long-read and phased avian genome assemblies correct and add to genes important in neuroscience research Open
Reference quality genomes are expected to provide a resource for studying gene structure and function. However, often genes of interest are not completely or accurately assembled, leading to unknown errors in analyses or additional cloning…

Characterization and genetic manipulation of primed stem cells into a functional naïve state with <i>ESRRB</i> Open
Although there are no notable phenotypic differences, there are key differences in gene expression between these naïve and primed stem cells. These differences can be overcome through overexpression.

Phylogenomic analyses data of the avian phylogenomics project Open
Background Determining the evolutionary relationships among the major lineages of extant birds has been one of the biggest challenges in systematic biology. To address this challenge, we assembled or collected the genomes of 48 avian speci…
