The paper attempts to induce Cas9-dependent homologous recombination and gene drive in Tribolium castaneum but finds no evidence of homologous recombination or genetic drive.

This study identifies 4 missense SNPs in genes related to MI susceptibility through computational analysis of protein structure and function.

The paper identifies ZMYND12 as a gene associated with male infertility and flagellum function through genetic and functional studies in humans and Trypanosoma brucei.

BRASS is a permutation method for binary trait association mapping in structured samples, showing better type 1 error control than existing methods in simulations and applications to dog genome-wide association studies.

The paper identifies genomic clusters containing cancer susceptibility genes, protein tyrosine phosphatases, and protein kinases across multiple species, suggesting functional interactions.

The paper investigates how maternal H3.3 contributes to paternal genome reprogramming and minor zygotic genome activation in mice.

The paper applies domain adaptation to supervised machine learning models trained on simulated population genetic data to improve performance on real-world data.

The paper shows that Cdc73 regulates AIF1 expression in yeast under hydrogen peroxide stress through H3K36 methylation, independent of H3K4 methylation.

The paper uses RNA-Seq to compare gene expression in susceptible and resistant maize lines infected with downy mildew, identifying DEGs involved in resistance mechanisms.

The paper uses whole-genome sequencing data from UK Biobank participants to identify rare non-coding variants and regions associated with circulating protein levels.

The paper investigates the evolutionary lineage and ancestry of Listeria monocytogenes strains with unique methylase genes, finding they belong to Lineage I and are not orthologous to other bacterial genera.

This paper introduces two 3C-derived methods, Tri-4C and Tri-HiC, for ultrafine mapping of chromatin interactions at 100 basepair resolution, revealing regulatory genome architecture and enhancer-promoter loops.

The paper develops a method to profile sphingolipids in C. elegans and identifies the functional roles of specific isozymes in sphingolipid biosynthesis.

The paper identifies a genetic region associated with systemic necrosis in Arabidopsis thaliana infected with turnip mosaic virus, showing a trade-off between resistance and fitness costs.

This study shows that a polygenic risk score for coronary artery disease is associated with more severe atherosclerosis features in autopsy samples of sudden death cases.

The paper shows H3K9me2 regulates silencing through incoherent feedforward loops involving H3K36me3 and H3K4me1.

The paper shows that DNA double-strand breaks near inverted repeats drive inverted duplications in Sae2 and Mre11-deficient cells through a mechanism involving DNA polymerase delta and Rad51.

The paper examines dispensable essential genes and their association with bypass suppressor mutations across species, revealing distinct phylogenetic properties and evolutionary implications.
