Chromosome-level assembly of 14 snakes in a study led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China, has created a high-resolution genomic reference for the study of snake evolution. In a paper, “Large-scale snake genome analyses provide insights into vertebrate development,” published in Cell, the research team details a wide array of discoveries already made by their sequencing data.
