Abstract excerpt

Evolution reflects a balance between innovation and constraint, often repurposing existing components in new contexts. Convergent evolution exemplifies this interplay, with similar traits evolving independently in different species, yet the genomic mechanisms enabling this repeatability remain poorly understood. Here, by analyzing 10 chromosome-scale genome assemblies, including seven newly generated, we found...
