TL;DR: The sequencing and assembly of the oyster genome using short reads and a fosmid-pooling strategy and transcriptomes of development and stress response and the proteome of the shell are reported, showing that shell formation in molluscs is more complex than currently understood and involves extensive participation of cells and their exosomes.

TL;DR: It is found that genes that were retained as duplicates after the teleost-specific whole-genome duplication 320 million years ago were not more likely to be retained after the Ss4R, and that the duplicate retention was not influenced to a great extent by the nature of the predicted protein interactions of the gene products.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Genome-Wide Adaptive Complex to underground stresses in blind mole rats Spalax is described, where the adaptive complexes are based on adaptive complexes to underground stress.

TL;DR: An unexpected concentration of positively selected genes in the DNA damage checkpoint and nuclear factor κB pathways that may be related to the origin of flight, as well as expansion and contraction of important gene families are discovered.

TL;DR: A draft 6.5 Gb genome sequence of Locusta migratoria is presented, which is the largest animal genome sequenced so far, and complex regulatory mechanisms involved in microtubule dynamic-mediated synapse plasticity during phase change are revealed.
