HiFi-Helper: A reproducible workflow for genome assembly from HiFi reads alone

Preprint · 2026 The PacBio Revio simplifies genome assembly by generating very long reads with very few errors at an affordable price point. Comparative ease of assembly is democratizing access, leading to a larger niche for assembly workflows. HiFi-Helper is a user-frien ... Full text Cite

Genetically tractable embryonic cell lines from sea urchins

Preprint · 2025 AbstractSea urchins have been valuable research models for more than a century, significantly contributing to our knowledge of fundamental biological processes like cell cycle regulation and developmental gene regulatory networks. While ... Full text Cite

Lepidopteran scale cells derive from sensory organ precursors through a canonical lineage

Preprint · 2024 The success of butterflies and moths is tightly linked to the origin of scales within the group. A long-standing hypothesis postulates that scales are homologous to the well-described mechanosensory bristles found in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster ... Full text Cite
