The giant panda (), a vulnerable species and an icon of wildlife conservation, is still at risk due to habitat fragmentation and a low reproductive rate. To further safeguard the giant panda from extinction, a captive breeding program was established in the mid 1980's, however the growth of this population has been hindered by the poor reproductive ability of captive male giant pandas. To address this, we investigated the sperm proteome of the giant panda as detailed information on sperm proteome is unavailable, as it is a highly specialized area of study.

Nuclear three dimensional (3D) folding of chromatin structure has been linked to gene expression regulation and correct developmental programs, but little is known about the 3D architecture of sex chromosomes within the nucleus, and how that impacts their role in sex determination. Here, we determine the sex-specific 3D organization of the model brown alga Ectocarpus chromosomes at 2 kb resolution, by mapping long-range chromosomal interactions using Hi-C coupled with Oxford Nanopore long reads. We report that Ectocarpus interphase chromatin exhibits a non-Rabl conformation, with strong contacts among telomeres and among centromeres, which feature centromere-specific LTR retrotransposons.

Giant clam populations have declined in many areas of the Indo-Pacific and continue to be threatened by harvesting and environmental change. The small giant clam () occurs throughout the Indo-Pacific and has been subject to several phylogeographic studies across its range.
