Has anyone reviewed the latest genome profile for the Common Toad?
Carlos Martinez · 6 hours ago ·
Yes, the assembly quality is remarkable. The contig N50 is quite high.
Aisha Khan · 6 hours ago ·
I noticed that too. The BUSCO scores indicate a very complete genome.
Liu Wei · 6 hours ago ·
The gene annotation is also impressive. Many unique metabolic pathways were identified.
Olivia Brown · 6 hours ago ·
Indeed. The repeat content analysis revealed some interesting transposable elements.

Could these elements be linked to the toad’s adaptability to various environments?
Emma Johnson · 6 hours ago ·
Possibly. The high GC content in certain regions might also play a role in genome stability.
