UBA1-CDK16: A Sex-Specific Chimeric RNA and Its Role in Immune Sexual Dimorphism

The paper identifies a female-specific chimeric RNA, UBA1-CDK16, and shows its role in myeloid differentiation and immune sexual dimorphism.

AI in Paleontology

This paper reviews AI applications in paleontology, highlighting a gap between paleontological AI and mainstream AI studies, and discusses future directions for integrating AI into paleontological research.

Autographa californica Multiple Nucleopolyhedrovirus orf13 is Required for Efficient Nuclear Egress of Nucleocapsids

This study identifies AcMNPV orf13 as essential for efficient nuclear egress of nucleocapsids during virion budding but not for occlusion body formation.

Mechanisms Driving Genome Reduction of a Novel Roseobacter Lineage Showing Vitamin B12 Auxotrophy

The paper identifies a novel Roseobacter lineage, CHUG, with reduced genomes and vitamin B12 auxotrophy, suggesting a free-living lifestyle and genome reduction driven by relaxed purifying selection.

Novel pelagiphages prevail in the ocean

This study isolates and characterizes ten novel pelagiphages infecting Pelagibacter strains, revealing their genetic diversity, global distribution, and ecological significance.

Diverse, abundant and novel viruses infecting \"unculturable\" but abundant marine bacteria

The paper isolates and characterizes seven phages infecting Roseobacter RCA lineage bacteria, revealing genomic diversity and abundance in marine virosphere.

Retinoblastoma 1 (RB1) modulates the proliferation of chicken preadipocytes

This study shows that chicken RB1 inhibits preadipocyte proliferation by affecting the G1/S cell cycle transition.

Pelagiphages in the Podoviridiae family integrate into host genomes

This study identifies 11 new pelagiphages in the Podoviridae family that integrate into host SAR11 genomes, providing evidence of both lytic and lysogenic infection mechanisms.
