The paper describes relatedness coefficients for gene triplets and quartets, focusing on statistical methods and challenges in estimation using genetic marker data.

This study uses DNA barcoding to identify native and invasive fish species in the Mweru-Luapula fishery, confirming the presence of Parachanna obscura and discovering new species records.

The paper applies a method to estimate heritability in a wild sheep population, finding that including an identity-by-descent GRM improves model fit for polygenic traits but not monogenic ones.

The paper investigates natural variation in C. briggsae isolates' resistance to two RNA viruses, identifying genomic regions associated with viral resistance.

This paper introduces MRLE, a method for Mendelian Randomization analysis of latent exposures using multiple biomarkers, showing improved power and evidence for inflammation's causal role in diseases.

This study uses SNP analysis to show that white clover populations in Brazil have high within-population genetic diversity, with some populations showing admixture with cultivars and others having distinct genetic backgrounds, confirming its naturalization.

The paper identifies PSKH2 as a gene influencing variability in Factor V plasma activity through genome-wide analysis of non-additive allele effects.

This paper integrates environmental data with genetic data using machine learning to improve genomic prediction models for maize grain yield, showing increased predictive ability and computational efficiency.

The paper develops a novel murine model to identify genetic modifiers of triple-negative breast cancer traits and identifies susceptibility loci with potential translational relevance.

This study shows that disrupting the mitochondrial fission gene drp-1 during development extends the lifespan of daf-2 mutants by improving mitochondrial function and stress resistance.

The paper identifies de novo RBBP5 variants in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders and shows they cause loss of function through structural and Drosophila model analyses.

The paper identifies seven genes in Drosophila melanogaster that suppress p53-induced apoptosis through insertional mutagenesis using the DEP transposon.

The paper investigates how chromatin states influence coordinated allelic transcriptional bursting during iPSC reprogramming and finds that chromatin accessibility correlates with allelic coordination.

This study identifies a self-regulatory mechanism of the 6mA methyltransferase AMT1 in Tetrahymena thermophila, showing that AMT1 modulates its own transcription through 6mA methylation and affects cell fitness.

This study identifies Rtt107's role in preventing genome instability by interacting with Rad55 and Slx4, showing distinct functions in limiting crossover events and maintaining rDNA stability.

This study genotypes 80 Ladakh individuals to analyze genetic lineages, admixture, and adaptation, finding distinct East Asian and Indo-European affinities with signals of high-altitude and immunity adaptation.

This study tests two models for TAD boundary formation in flies and finds that boundary pairing, not loop extrusion, determines TAD endpoints.

This paper introduces edLMM, a method that detects low-effect genetic variants using moderate sample sizes, improving missing heritability estimation.

The paper investigates how loop topology in Drosophila TADs affects physical and regulatory landscapes by replacing boundaries and analyzing the resulting structural and functional changes.
