DESCRIPTION:The new era of reference genomes is paving the way for underst
 anding genome evolution across a broad range of taxa. While this finally p
 ermits genome research in previously neglected or inaccessible organisms\,
  certain genome features (e.g.\, transposable elements\, centromeres) and 
 unusual chromosomes (e.g.\, sex chromosomes\, germline-restricted chromoso
 mes) require dedicated attention for elucidating their presence/absence an
 d sequence evolution. Here I will discuss our ongoing efforts to combine s
 tate-of-the-art multi-omics with cytogenomics to understand the depth of g
 enome variability between as well as within individuals of songbirds\, and
  what we can learn from these case studies for ultimately being able to id
 entify such variability in any organism of interest.
