The reference genome of Erebia palarica will provide valuable insights into evolutionary and conservation genomics. On one hand, the reference genome paves the way to unravel the speciation process, reproductive barriers, and putative hybridisation of E. palarica with its closely related sister species: Erebica meolans. On the other hand, the reference genome will play an important role in the genetic monitoring of this endemic species, facilitating the use of genomics to estimate population genomics parameters. The genome was assembled into 14 contiguous chromosomal pseudomolecules (Z chromosome included). This chromosome-level assembly encompasses 0.49 Gb, composed of 38 contigs and 17 scaffolds, with contig and scaffold N50 values of 34.2 Mb and 38.4 Mb, respectively.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
