This study measures radiation-induced DNA damage distribution using END-seq and shows its correlation with 3D genome structure and chromatin features.

The paper presents a chromosome-level haplotype-resolved genome assembly for Italian ryegrass, revealing gene order collinearity and sequence variation between haplotypes, and identifies QTL for stem rust resistance.

This study examines chromatin accessibility in the coral Acropora millepora under heat stress, finding that open chromatin regions correlate with gene expression patterns and stress responses.

The paper characterizes the structural variation and diversification of the NPIP gene family in humans using long-read sequencing and identifies evidence of positive selection and novel gene models.

The paper demonstrates genome-wide imputation using a low-density amplicon panel in Pacific oysters to reduce genotyping costs and improve selective breeding.

This study shows the NSL complex prevents R-loop induced replication stress during neural development, leading to developmental abnormalities when disrupted.

This study identifies wCin2USA1 as a promising Wolbachia strain for dengue control due to its genomic similarities to established strains and unique Cif gene architecture.

The paper shows that loss of H1.4 linker histone affects chromatin accessibility, histone modifications, and gene expression, particularly impacting stress response pathways and immune-related genes.

This study identifies Levipalatum texanum as a eukaryote lacking tRNA introns and the tRNA splicing endonuclease, revealing adaptations to this loss.

This study investigates how the avian malaria parasite P. homocircumflexum adjusts its gene expression across different bird hosts, finding evidence for epigenetic inheritance and transcriptional plasticity.

The paper shows that environmental enrichment modulates age-related changes in the 3D chromatin interactome of mouse hippocampal neurons, inducing maturation in young mice and partial rejuvenation in old mice.

The paper expands the BacMet database and trains an enhanced ResNet model to rapidly identify metal resistance genes with high accuracy and speed.

KLinterSel evaluates concordance among selective sweep detection methods using statistical tests and identifies candidate site clusters in common cockle genomic data.

The paper constructs a bovine epigenomic atlas to annotate regulatory elements and decode the regulatory syntax of the cattle genome, aiding in fine-mapping GWAS loci for complex traits.

The paper evaluates somatic contamination in germline genomes using WES and WGS data from UK Biobank, TCGA, and 1000 Genomes Project, revealing limitations in current filtering methods and the impact of somatic mutations on genetic studies.

The paper uses electromagnetic radiations to separate plastic-degrading microbial communities from plastic surfaces and identifies key bacterial responses to specific wavelengths.

The paper identifies large pericentromeric TE-rich regions in the genome of a fig wasp, showing reduced recombination and distinct evolutionary patterns in these regions.

This study finds that laboratory Schistosoma mansoni populations retain abundant genetic variation, with implications for drug resistance studies and GWAS.

This study models the Neolithic expansion of farmers in Europe, showing increasing admixture with hunter-gatherers over time and estimating farmer population size relative to hunter-gatherers.

The paper identifies p63 as a molecular switch that determines the glucocorticoid receptor's role as a tumor suppressor or oncogene in prostate cancer.
