This study shows that paternal DNA methylation affects nucleosome retention in sperm and H3K4 methylation deposition in early embryos.

The paper identifies a new defense mechanism in Drosophila that enhances the piRNA pathway to control an expanded meiotic driver by increasing the expression of PIWI-clade nucleases.

The paper investigates the distinct and interdependent roles of three RING proteins in regulating meiotic recombination in mice, revealing their unique spatiotemporal dynamics and functional relationships.

This study shows that TAF4b is essential for coordinating meiotic prophase I progression and early oocyte differentiation in mouse fetal oocytes.

The paper compares molecular programs in Drosophila nurse cell death and clearance under different conditions, identifying pathways and genes involved in apoptotic and non-apoptotic clearance mechanisms.

The paper identifies a novel XACT lncRNA transcript expressed in both active and inactive X chromosomes, with roles in erythroid differentiation and AML subtypes beyond its role in XCI.

This study uses microsatellite markers to analyze genetic diversity in Chiricahua Leopard Frogs, revealing genetic bottlenecks and rapid diversity loss in managed populations.

This study compares fish diversity recovery using netting, eDNA, and dietary metabarcoding in three Neotropical streams to improve biodiversity assessment.

The paper shows that DDX3X and DDX3Y exhibit post-transcriptional cross- and auto-regulation, buffering their expression levels in human cells.

The ReAct project evaluates DNA recovery and likelihood ratios across 23 labs using Bayesian networks and experimental simulations of robbery scenarios.

This study applies XGBoost with SHAP to QTL mapping, showing comparable performance to traditional methods for main effects and superior performance for interaction effects.

This paper evaluates a Voronoi-based cell segmentation method for spatial transcriptomics, showing improved cell type separation and transcript preservation compared to traditional clustering methods.

hibayes provides an R package for fitting Bayesian regression models in genomic prediction and GWAS, supporting individual-level, summary-level, and single-step approaches.

This study shows that Drosophila melanogaster can pass on increased survivability from parasitic stress exposure through transgenerational epigenetic inheritance.

The paper compares gene expression in captive and wild shrew brains, finding hundreds of differentially expressed genes linked to neurodegenerative pathways and ribosomal proteins.

The paper analyzes mitochondrial genomes of Cape buffalo from Addo Elephant National Park, finding a highly divergent mitogenome likely from introgressive hybridization with an extinct species.

This study uses molecular and chromosomal analyses to reveal genetic diversity in the Sordida subcomplex, suggesting six putative species instead of three.

NeuroTri2-VISDOT provides a web-based tool to explore second trimester human single-cell RNA sequencing data for Mendelian neurodevelopmental disorders, aiding in model system selection.

This study identifies G6PC2's role in regulating glucagon secretion in α-cells, showing it controls glucose setpoint and suggests G6PC2 inhibitors could improve glycemic control.
