TL;DR: Interestingly, when the authors repeat SV detection on a pseudodiploid genome constructed in silico by merging the two haploids, it is found that ∼59% of the heterozygous SVs are no longer detected by SMRT-SV, indicating that haploid resolution of long-read sequencing data will significantly increase sensitivity of SV detection.

TL;DR: In other amniotes (reptiles and birds), sex is determined by a variety of different mechanisms that belong in two broad classes: genetic or environmental, although recent data show that some species combine both (Quinn et al. 2007) as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The fingerprint map is a high-resolution integrative data resource that provides genome-ordered associations among BAC, YAC, and PAC clones and the assembled sequence of the rat genome.

TL;DR: The results show that Xiphophorus is a tractable vertebrate experimental model to investigate how genetic variations that occur during speciation may affect gene interactions and the regulation of gene expression.

TL;DR: Two strategies for analyzing allele specific expression within interspecies hybrids produced from crossing two Xiphophorus fish species are compared and it is indicated that indels between the two parental alleles are the major cause of the differences in results observed when employing these two methods.
