TL;DR: A functional single-chromosome yeast from a Saccharomyces cerevisiae haploid cell containing sixteen linear chromosomes is created by successive end-to-end chromosome fusions and centromere deletions to demonstrate an approach to exploration of eukaryote evolution with respect to chromosome structure and function.

TL;DR: The genomic resources generated in this work not only offer a valuable reference genome for functional genomics studies of yellow catfish to decipher the economic traits and sex determination but also provide important chromosome information for genome comparisons in the wider evolutionary research community.

TL;DR: The chromosome-scale assembly ofsweet cherry revealed that gene duplication events contributed to the expansion of gene families for salicylic acid/jasmonic acid carboxyl methyltransferase and ankyrin repeat-containing proteins in the genome of sweet cherry.

TL;DR: A draft genome assembly for the Chinese sillago is built, which is the first reference genome for Sillaginidae species, and sets a stage for comparative analysis of the diversification and adaptation of fishes in Sillsaginidae.

TL;DR: The assembled genome can be used as a reference for future population genetic studies of O. stewartii and will improve the understanding of high altitude adaptation of fishes in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.
