Definition of functional regulatory regions in the vast non-coding fractions of mammalian genomes remains a daunting challenge that underscores our limited understanding of... -
Comparative analysis of genome-scale, base-resolution DNA methylation profile...
We mapped DNA methylation in 580 animal species (535 vertebrates, 45 invertebrates), resulting in 2443 genome-scale, base-resolution DNA methylation profiles of primary tissue... -
RNA-Seq analysis of gene expression divergence in mammalian liver
The connection between evolution of regulatory elements and downstream gene expression is incompletely understood in mammals. We carried out a large-scale comparison of matched... -
Gut vertebrate gut archaeal community assessment via archaea-targeting 16S rR...
Commonly used 16S rRNA primers miss much of the archaeal diversity present in the vertebrate gut, leaving open the question of which archaea are host associated, the... -
Genome Skimming with Nanopore Sequencing Precisely Determines Global and Tran...
This study determines that genome skimming, shallow depth of sequencing, is capable of accurately quantifying global DNA methylation level across a range of vertebrates. -
Mitochondrial heteroplasmy in vertebrates using ChIP-sequencing data
Mitochondrial heteroplasmy, the presence of more than one mtDNA variant in a cell or individual is not as uncommon as previously thought. It is mostly due to the high mutation... -
Germline mutation rate in vertebrates
We estimated the germline mutation rate of 68 species of vertebrates using WGS of pedigrees (i.e. at least 3 individuals mother, father, and their offspring). -
Single cell atlas for mammals, reptiles and birds
Established the broadest single-nucleus RNA sequencing study to date, covering 11 representative species, including pets (cat, dog, hamster, and lizard), livestock (goat and... -
Large scale metagenome assembly reveals novel animal-associated microbial div...
Large-scale metagenome assemblies of human microbiomes have produced a huge catalogue of previously unseen genomic data, but has been applied to only a few of the >66 000... -
