Chromosomal rearrangements: tempo and mode of karyotype evolution in Scarabaeoidea
Abstract. Karyotype evolution, including changes in chromosome number and structure, is a fundamental process that can influence genome organization and sp

Iām excited to share that weāve successfully assembled the genome of the Formosan long-armed beetle (Cheirotonus formosanus) to chromosome level with both high contiguity and completeness.
