This study demonstrates the use of hyperactive piggyBac transposase mRNA to achieve efficient transgenesis in Plodia interpunctella, resulting in stable transgenic lines with fluorescent markers.

The paper tests for transgenerational epigenetic effects of non-transmitted paternal alleles in mice and finds no significant evidence of such effects on gene expression or anatomical traits.

This study identifies differentially expressed genes and metabolic differences between C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N mice, highlighting genetic variants beyond Nnt that contribute to phenotypic variation.

The paper identifies IDC, a ZAD zinc finger protein, as essential for H3K9me3 deposition at the phf7 gene in Drosophila female germ cells, preventing ectopic PHF7 expression.

The paper uses graph-based pangenomics to improve genotyping density and reveal structural variation's role in fungal resistance in melon.

This paper introduces mJAM, a multi-population fine-mapping method that improves credible set construction by incorporating population-specific LD structures and demonstrates its effectiveness in real GWAS data.

The paper identifies three regulatory variants associated with IVD expression and linked to GWAS signals, showing synergistic and opposing effects through functional experiments.

This study demonstrates efficient brain-specific delivery of FMR1 via AAVphp vectors in adult FMR1 KO mice, leading to partial behavioral improvements and increased FMRP levels.

The paper assesses genetic diversity in wild and ex situ addax populations to inform conservation strategies, finding wild populations retain more evolutionary diversity than ex situ and reintroduced populations.

This study shows that bacterial chromosomes can undergo chromatin assembly, activity, looping, and compartmentalization in yeast, driven by their sequence composition.

This study shows that the circadian clock gene bmal1 is necessary for circatidal rhythms in Eurydice pulchra, while other negative regulators are not.

The paper identifies abundant genetic pleiotropy across neuroimaging modalities using a multivariate genome-wide association study in two cohorts.

The paper identifies cutl-24 as a gene responsible for ER stress resistance in a Kenyan C. elegans isolate, showing parent-of-origin effects and validating its role through genetic experiments.

The paper characterizes the immunoglobulin lambda chain locus in diverse populations, identifying novel alleles and highlighting limitations of short-read sequencing.

The paper develops a high-resolution Y-SNP panel to infer paternal lineages and admixture history in Chinese populations, revealing complex genetic diversity and migration patterns.

The paper generates a visible eye color marker in Oncopeltus fasciatus through genome editing of the vermilion locus, identifying its role in pigmentation and creating a genetic tool for this species.

SPEER identifies abnormal mRNA splicing and assesses its clinical impact in hereditary cancer syndrome genetic testing, reclassifying variants of uncertain significance.

DeepGWAS enhances GWAS signals for neuropsychiatric disorders using deep neural networks, improving locus detection in schizophrenia and validating results in other disorders.

The paper shows that RNAi targets noncoding regions of VANDAL TEs, while VANC proteins evolved to escape this silencing, suggesting a co-evolutionary arms race between TEs and host defense mechanisms.
