TL;DR: In this article, a chromosome-level genome assembly for the bowfin (Amia calva) is presented, which enables gene-order analyses, settling long-debated neopterygian phylogenetic relationships.

TL;DR: The sequencing and de novo assembly of the genome of the mormyrid Paramormyrops kingsleyae using short-read sequencing and a somatic transcriptome from 11 tissues to construct a gene expression atlas of predicted genes from this assembly, enabling us to identify candidate housekeeping genes as well as genes differentially expressed in the major somatic tissues of themormyrids electric fish.

TL;DR: The expected pattern under normoxic conditions of high expression of myoglobin in heart and neuroglobin in the brain in two hypoxia-tolerant species suggests that the main effect of selection on these globin genes is on their sequence rather than their basal expression patterns.

TL;DR: This review article considers the molecular data collected for weakly electric fish over the past three decades, and the insights that data of this nature has motivated, and poses a research agenda for expanding genomic resources for electric fish research over the next 10years.

TL;DR: A chromosome-level genome assembly for bowfin is generated that enables gene-order analyses which settle its long-debated, phylogenetic relationship with gars and illustrates the utility of these genomic resources to connect developmental evolution across bony fishes, showing the importance of bowfin in understanding vertebrate biology and diversity.
