The paper compares phenotypic and transcriptomic changes in natural and resynthesized allopolyploids of Capsella bursa-pastoris to distinguish short-term and long-term evolutionary effects.

The paper investigates how the intracellular level of Rad51 in S. cerevisiae is regulated through proteolysis involving SUMO and ubiquitin modifications.

This study examines visual-motor integration deficits in 3q29 deletion syndrome, finding significant gender differences and associations with ADHD and cognitive ability.

The paper tests genetic variation for limited transpiration in sorghum under field conditions and evaluates canopy temperature as a surrogate trait.

The paper reports a viral metagenomic analysis of fecal samples from Southeastern Maned Sloths, identifying viral families and disease-associated bacterial genera.

This study expresses a pathogenic HD construct in Drosophila muscle and finds distinct aggregate distributions and phenotypes depending on expression timing and level.

This study identifies genetic variants associated with sputum mucin concentrations and links one variant to COPD phenotypes like chronic bronchitis and acute exacerbations.

The paper identifies genetic variants associated with the loss of mechanical entrainment in circalunar clocks of marine midges, revealing a complex genetic architecture and candidate genes involved in the trait.

The paper studies the evolutionary history and genetic structure of an urban-dwelling bat species on Reunion Island, finding no spatial genetic structure and suggesting in-situ diversification and ancient population expansion.

This study uses genotype-by-sequencing on hair follicle DNA to genetically characterize a captive marmoset colony, revealing low inbreeding and identifying clinically significant SNVs.

The paper constructs the first large-scale gene coexpression network for peach and validates its ability to predict gene function related to fruit softening.

This study shows that common splice-regulatory variants can reduce the pathogenicity of rare exonic variants by modulating mRNA splicing.

The paper identifies a functional variant in the 9p21.3 locus associated with glaucoma risk and shows it increases p16INK4a expression by disrupting YY1 binding.

The paper investigates the role of the 5' intron in TUB1 gene regulation in S. cerevisiae, showing it enhances -tubulin expression and cell fitness during microtubule stress.

This paper extends theoretical models of inversion polymorphisms to a finite island model, analyzing their effects on genetic diversity and linkage disequilibrium in Drosophila melanogaster.

This study uses base editors and AAVMYO to correct Rbm20 mutations in cardiomyocytes, improving splicing and cardiac function in mouse models of dilated cardiomyopathy.

The paper describes a CRISPR/Cas9-based curriculum enabling secondary school students to generate LexA lines from GAL4 lines, resulting in 16 novel lines and a standardized workflow.

This study shows that the coronary artery disease variant rs17514846 affects FURIN expression through allele-specific DNA methylation and MeCP2 binding in monocytes.

The paper examines how local relatedness affects tree height and rust damage in Populus nigra, finding that incorporating relatedness into genomic models improves rust resistance predictions but has limited overall effect.

The paper introduces a two-stage multivariate Mendelian Randomization method to analyze mixed distributed outcomes with instrumental variables, showing improved statistical power in simulations and a clinical trial.
