A genome assembly and annotation for the Australian alpine skink Bassiana duperreyi using long-read technologies.
Article in G3 (Bethesda, Md.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The eastern 3-lined skink (Bassiana duperreyi) inhabits the Australian high country in the southeast of the continent including Tasmania. It is a distinctive oviparous species because it undergoes sex reversal (from XX genotypic females to phenotypic males) at low incubation temperatures. We present a chromosome-scale genome assembly of a B. duperreyi XY male individual, constructed using PacBio HiFi and Oxford Nanopore Technologies long reads scaffolded using Illumina HiC data. The genome assembly length is 1.57 Gb with a scaffold N50 of 222 Mb, N90 of 26 Mb, 200 gaps, and 43.10% GC content. Most (95%) of the assembly is scaffolded into 6 macrochromosomes, 8 microchromosomes, and the X chromosome, corresponding to the karyotype. Fragmented Y chromosome scaffolds (n = 11 ≥ 1 Mb) were identified using Y-specific contigs generated by genome subtraction. We identified 2 novel alpha-satellite repeats of 187 and 199 bp in the putative centromeres that did not form higher-order repeats. The genome assembly exceeds the standard recommended by the Earth BioGenome Project: 0.02% false expansions, 99.63% k-mer completeness, 94.66% complete single-copy Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs genes, and an average 98.42% of transcriptome data mappable to the genome assembly. The mitochondrial genome (17,506 bp) and the model rDNA repeat unit (15,154 bp) were assembled. The B. duperreyi genome assembly has high completeness for a skink and will provide a resource for research focused on sex determination and thermolabile sex reversal, as an oviparous foundation species for studies of the evolution of viviparity and for other comparative genomics studies of the Scincidae.
