TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Chinese tubular cone snail (C. betulinus) as a representative, and sequenced and assembled the first Conus genome with original identification of 133 genome-widely distributed conopeptide genes.

TL;DR: The genome assembly will provide a solid foundation for further molecular breeding and germplasm resource protection in Chinese clearhead icefish, as well as other icefishes, and is also a valuable genetic resource for revealing the molecular mechanisms for the cavefish-like characters.

TL;DR: The Chinese white dolphin genome assembly will be a valuable resource for further genetic researches on adaptive ecology and conservation biology of cetaceans, and for in-depth investigations into bioactive peptides in aquatic and terrestrial mammals for development of peptide-based drugs to treat various human cardiovascular diseases.

TL;DR: In the version of this article initially published, the legend for Figure 1b referred to red arrows indicating the inferred divergence dates as discussed by the authors, but no arrows are depicted in the figure, so this sentence has been removed from the figure legend in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.

TL;DR: The first genome survey of the Antarctic krill is performed, with genomic evidence for its estimated genome size of 42.1 gigabases, and preliminary investigations on bioactive peptides will bring a new perspective for the in-depth development of novel marine drugs.
