Chromosome-level genome assembly of the common tenrec, Tenrec ecaudatus (Schreber, 1778), a new model for early placental mammal evolution - BMC Genomics
Background Our understanding of many biological aspects of early placental mammals is still very limited. Due to the paucity of the fossil record, attention is often turned to those extant organisms…

New #preprint!

We introduce PSS (Phenotype Shift Scores), a method that compares continuous phenotypes—such as body or brain mass—across every pair of species in a phylogeny, while accounting for their evolutionary distance. #Evolution #ComparativeGenomics

The headline finding is wild: the two-toed sloth genome contains 15,898 retrocopies.

That matters because retrocopies can preserve traces of genome evolution, helping researchers ask how duplicated genetic material may contribute to new traits.

#GenomeBiology #ComparativeGenomics #Sloth
A close-up photograph of a two-toed sloth resting among bright green tropical leaves. The sloth's face is centered as it curls around a tree branch with its long claws visible. Overlaid text explains that newly assembled chromosome-level genomes revealed an extraordinary number of retrocopies in xenarthrans, including 15,898 retrocopies in the two-toed sloth—the highest number reported among mammals in the study. Split-panel image featuring a giant anteater in the upper section and a sloth hanging upside down in the lower section. Overlaid text asks, “What are retrocopies?” and explains that retrocopies are gene copies created when RNA is copied back into DNA and inserted into the genome. The images illustrate two distinctive xenarthran species whose genomes are helping researchers understand mammalian evolution.
