The paper develops a multi-kernel mixed model to analyze indirect genetic effects (IGEs) in plant genotypes, finding evidence of intergenotypic competition in aspen and apple trees.

The paper develops a confined gene drive system called TARE in Anopheles stephensi to modify mosquito populations, showing it can spread but faces challenges from fitness costs and resistance.

The paper identifies tissue- and isoform-level genetic regulation differences between epilepsy and SUDEP, revealing distinct cardiac and neuronal gene expression patterns.

This paper introduces a Bayesian Varying Coefficient Model to analyze time-related phenotypic plasticity across species, revealing dynamic QTLs and improving phenotypic variance explanation.

This study identifies Rei1 and Reh1 as facilitators of eL24 loading onto pre-60S ribosomal subunits in yeast.

The paper identifies variance QTLs (vQTLs) and gene-environment interactions for body fat distribution using UK Biobank MRI and genetic data, with replication in external cohorts.

The paper examines GT>GC 5' splice-site variants, showing they can retain wild-type transcript and challenge variant classification.

The paper shows that chromosomal rearrangements and sequence similarity drive preferential introgression of genes from a wild wheat relative into wheat via ph1b-mediated recombination.

The paper investigates Xist RNA's role in X chromosome inactivation dynamics in B cells, finding Xist-dependent and independent epigenetic mechanisms that maintain XCI memory.

This study shows urbanization reduces genetic diversity and increases population structure in caracals, with historical connectivity contrasted by recent genetic structuring.

The paper identifies GAR1 as a key regulator of lipid storage and insulin signaling in Drosophila, showing its role in alternative splicing and metabolic homeostasis.

This study shows that Kms1 and Cbp1 cooperate to ensure accurate homology-directed DNA repair at the nuclear periphery in S. pombe by preventing recombination and incorrect template use.

This study shows that LBR nucleoplasmic domains regulate X-chromosome solubility and nuclear organization during neural differentiation in mouse cells.

The paper shows that a heat-trainable sHSP locus in the unicellular alga C. merolae is regulated by epigenetic mechanisms, enabling thermomemory through histone modifications.

This study evaluates virus-like particles (VLPs) as efficient delivery vehicles for genome editing tools in pigs and chickens, achieving high editing rates in various cell types and systems.

This study develops and tests CRISPR-based sex transformation systems in Lucilia cuprina, finding that dCas9 causes lethality while Cas9 is well-tolerated.

This study uses genomic prediction to select resilient sessile oak genotypes based on foliar physiological traits, showing high heritability and across-provenance predictability.

The paper reconstructs 3,500 years of sheeppox virus evolution using ancient genomes from archaeological and medieval parchment sources, showing divergence events and gene inactivation.

This paper reports the first successful cloning of a golden wild yak using interspecific somatic cell nuclear transfer under extreme high-altitude conditions.

The paper compares outcomes of X-poisoning and X-shredding in malaria mosquitoes by timing Cas9 expression during spermatogenesis, finding that timing determines distortion type.
