TL;DR: A near-complete chromosome-scale assembly for cultivated octoploid strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) is reported and the origin and evolutionary processes that shaped this complex allopolyploid are uncovered, providing a useful resource for genome-wide analyses and molecular breeding.
Haplotype-phased genome and evolution of phytonutrient pathways of tetraploid blueberry.

TL;DR: Genome-wide analyses revealed that both polyploidy and tandem gene duplications modified various pathways involved in the biosynthesis of key phytonutrients in highbush blueberry.
Evolution of the ancestral mammalian karyotype and syntenic regions

TL;DR: Computational reconstruction of ancestral mammalian karyotypes revealed a comprehensive picture of the chromosome rearrangements that occurred over the evolutionary history of mammals, maintaining ancient gene combinations while allowing for genomic innovations within or near chromosomal sites that break and rearrange over evolutionary time.

Genome of the ramshorn snail Biomphalaria straminea—an obligate intermediate host of schistosomiasis
Wenyan Nong,Yifei Yu,Madeleine E Aase-Remedios,Yichun Xie,Wai Lok So,Yiqian Li,Cheuk-Fung Wong,Tobias Baril,Sean T. S. Law,Sheung Yee Lai,Jasmine Haimovitz,Thomas Swale,Shan-shan Chen,Zhenpeng Kai,Xi Sun,Zhongdao Wu,Alexander Hayward,David E. K. Ferrier,Jerome H.L. Hui +18 more
TL;DR: This study provides the first genome assembly for the snail B. straminea and offers an unprecedented opportunity to address a variety of phenomena related to snail vectors of schistosomiasis, as well as evolutionary and genomics questions related to molluscs more widely.

Myriapod genomes reveal ancestral horizontal gene transfer and hormonal gene loss in millipedes
Wai Lok So,Wenyan Nong,Yichun Xie,Tobias Baril,Hai-Yao Ma,Zhe Qu,Jasmine Haimovitz,Thomas Swale,Juan Diego Gaitán-Espitia,Kwok-Fai Lau,Stephen S. Tobe,William G. Bendena,Zhenpeng Kai,Alexander Hayward,Jerome H.L. Hui +14 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors compared the genomes of three millipede and three centipede lineages and found that millipedes generally have considerably smaller genomes than centipedes, with the repeatome being a major contributor to genome size.
