New chromosome-scale genomes provide insights into marine adaptations of sea snakes (Hydrophis: Elapidae)
Abstract Background Sea snakes underwent a complete transition from land to sea within the last ~ 15 million years, yet they remain a conspicuous gap in molecular studies of marine adaptation in vertebrates. Results Here, we generate four new annotated sea snake genomes, three of these at chromosome...
