The paper designs and validates a KASP marker for the potato late blight resistance gene RB/Rpi-blb1, showing 100% accuracy in a diversity panel.

This study conducts GWAS on 11 mathematical ability categories in Chinese children, identifying 7 genome-wide significant SNPs and replicating one SNP associated with division ability.

The paper shows that de novo methylation stabilizes epigenetic inheritance of CG methylation in Arabidopsis transposons, counteracting maintenance failure.

The paper discusses the importance of the MET-TPE relationship in genomic prediction for improving breeding outcomes in target populations of environments.

The paper identifies X-linked genes that escape X-inactivation in twins across tissues, showing variability between individuals and suggesting genetic and environmental influences.

The paper examines how socio-cultural practices influenced sexual dimorphism in stature among Early Neolithic European populations, finding that cultural factors, not environment or genetics, primarily drove height disparities.

This study presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of Nicotiana tabacum, identifies genetic structure correlates, and builds a genotype-to-phenotype map for multiple traits using GenBank-scale data.

This paper develops an oral treatment, PTC258, that restores ELP1 splicing and improves symptoms in a mouse model of familial dysautonomia.

This study identifies HIF2 as a key driver of erythropoietin excess and polycythemia in SLC30A10 deficiency by linking manganese toxicity to altered hepatic gene expression and hepcidin regulation.

FLInt enables efficient and safe transgene integration in C. elegans using fluorescent marker loci and CRISPR/Cas9, allowing easy screening through fluorescence interference.

STRategy is a web-based platform for managing and analyzing STR data from NGS, offering visualization and role-based access control.

This paper identifies a novel QTL, QSns.sau-MC-3D.1, for wheat spikelet number per spike that shows no adverse effects on yield-related traits and has better breeding potential than WAPO1.

BridgePRS improves polygenic risk score accuracy in non-European populations by leveraging shared genetic effects across ancestries, outperforming existing methods in simulated and real data.

The paper investigates factors shaping runs of homozygosity in red deer, finding population history has the greatest impact, with selection playing a minor role in some regions.

The paper investigates SNP profiles around QTN in small Ne populations and shows how these profiles affect genomic prediction accuracy and QTN detection.

This study develops age prediction models using DNA methylation patterns in fingernails and toenails, achieving mean absolute deviations of 6.71 to 8.48 years.

This study shows that hypodermal insulin/IGF-1 signaling regulates memory in C. elegans through non-autonomous signaling via the Notch pathway.

This study identifies gene expression changes linked to exfoliation syndrome using TWAS and finds enrichment for inflammatory genes, suggesting inflammation's role in the disease.

The paper identifies a functional relationship between the SAGA histone acetyltransferase module and SMC5/6 complex in facilitating chromatin accessibility at gene regions.
