TL;DR: Genotyping analysis showed that SNP identification had high accuracy and consistency, indicating the high sequence quality of this assembly, and the potential usefulness of next-generation sequencing technologies for personal genomics.

TL;DR: The assembled genome of the social velvet spider and a draft assembly of the tarantula genome are presented that represent two major taxonomic groups of spiders and find that venom genes evolved by sequential duplication, and that the toxic effect of venom is most likely activated by proteases present in the venom.

TL;DR: The genome-wide DNA methylation map of bird is shown, using the chicken as a model organism and an immunocapturing approach followed by high-throughput sequencing to contribute to the understanding of epigenetics in birds.

TL;DR: In this paper , a meta-analysis of ADHD comprising 38,691 individuals with ADHD and 186,843 controls was presented, highlighting 27 genome-wide significant loci, highlighting 76 potential risk genes enriched among genes expressed particularly in early brain development.

TL;DR: Coding indels show stronger selection against indels changing the reading frame than observed in human populations, and the strength of purifying selection the authors infer is congruent with the differences in effective sizes of each subspecies.
