Elevated retrocopy burden and sloth-specific expansions illuminate mammalian genome evolution

Abstract Background Xenarthrans, comprising sloths, anteaters, and armadillos, represent one of the most morphologically and physiologically specialized mammalian clades, yet the genomic basis of their adaptations remains poorly understood. Here, we present chromosome-level genomes for the two-toed...
