ERGA-BGE reference genome of the bladderpod Alyssoides utriculata (L.) Medik. (Brassicaceae), a yellow-flowering shrub native to Switzerland

We present the chromosome-level genome assembly for bladderrpod, Alyssoides utriculata (Brassicales: Brassicaceae), the only currently accepted species in the genus Alyssoides. The phased assembly comprises two haplotypes with total lengths of 1.01 Gb and 0.98 Gb, respectively. F...

Reference genomes and fossils revise bat family phylogeny and biogeography

Abstract Bats are extraordinary among mammals, having uniquely evolved powered flight and laryngeal echolocation, along with disease resistance, extended healthspans and the ability to hibernate 1 . However, the evolutionary history of bats and the understanding of these adaptati...
