This paper presents a near telomere-to-telomere, haplotype-resolved genome assembly of Vellozia tubiflora, a desiccation-tolerant plant, providing genomic resources for evolutionary and comparative studies.

This study uses scRNA-seq on amniotic fluid to create a cell atlas of healthy fetal cells, revealing gestational age-related changes in cell composition and gene expression.

This study identifies genomic adaptations in an endangered California plant to coastal fog, revealing candidate genes and potential impacts of wind farms on gene flow.

The paper identifies microglial states associated with Parkinson's disease genetic risk and Lewy body pathology using single-cell profiling and integrates data with AMP PD.

The paper investigates how face inversion affects sensitivity to gaze direction, finding a robust inversion effect that is largely sex-invariant.

This paper demonstrates that collinearization can overcome genetic incompatibility between distant yeast species by creating synthetic chromosome segments that substitute for native ones, revealing hundreds of genetic incompatibilities.

This study evaluates how fishing bans may counteract nutrient control efforts in Lake Hongze, showing increased nutrient levels and reduced biodiversity under continued bans.

The paper identifies a novel Chilomastix lineage in wild Moroccan Barbary macaques using metagenomic sequencing, showing it is distinct from human-derived C. mesnili.

This study identifies the factors contributing to root system stiffness in maize and shows that below-ground root architecture primarily determines its prediction.

The paper determines the structure of C9orf72 RAN translation initiation complexes and identifies a key RNA-RNA interaction that drives DPR production, suggesting a therapeutic target.

The paper analyzes how degradation and bursty production affect the optimal feedback for minimizing timing variability in stochastic gene expression.

This study benchmarks machine learning models for enzyme engineering using a curated dataset, finding zero-shot predictors are most generalizable but still modestly correlated with activity, with consensus models improving precision.

This study compares the effects of two 5-HT2A receptor antagonists on fear extinction in mice, finding ligand-specific and dose-dependent impacts on extinction learning.

The paper identifies viral E3 ligase activity as a conserved trigger of NLRP1 inflammasome activation, expanding effector-triggered immunity against viral pathogens.

This study determines the structure of human GluD1 and elucidates its ligand-gating mechanism using cryoEM and electrophysiology.

This study identifies NDUFA13-K7 acetylation as a sensor linking OXPHOS dysfunction to cristae remodelling and metabolic changes in heart failure.

This study identifies the phylogenetic position of Brandtodinium nutricula and shows its free-living abundance in the ocean, challenging previous assumptions about its symbiotic exclusivity.

This study develops legume-based media to improve sporulation in soybean-associated Cercospora species, showing higher sporulation rates than traditional media.

The paper reanalyzes sequencing data to reconstruct full-length monkeypox virus transcripts and shows temporal changes in gene regulation and transcript structure.

This paper develops a smart bait dispenser using image classification to deliver baits specifically to target species, achieving 75.6% bait delivery success with minimal non-target consumption.
