Phase variation as a major mechanism of adaptation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex

The paper identifies phase variation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex as an adaptive mechanism, showing it alters gene expression and virulence.

Auxin-driven ecophysiological diversification of leaves in domesticated tomato

The paper identifies a single-nucleotide polymorphism in an auxin-related transcription factor that controls the distribution of heterobaric and homobaric leaves in tomatoes.

Population structure, biogeography and transmissibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

This study analyzes the population structure, biogeography, and transmissibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis using genomic data from thousands of strains, identifying new clades and sub-lineages.

THE REGULATORY EFFECT OF LIGHT OVER FRUIT DEVELOPMENT AND RIPENING IS MEDIATED BY EPIGENETIC MECHANISMS

This study identifies PHYB1 and PHYB2 as regulators of DNA methylation during tomato fruit development and ripening through integrative methylome, siRNAome, and transcriptome analyses.

Transcriptome analysis of three Agave fiber-producing cultivars suitable for biochemicals and biofuels production in semiarid regions

This study presents the transcriptomic profiles of three Agave species under drought, identifying gene expression patterns related to stress response and biomass composition.

Genome wide association with quantitative resistance phenotypes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis reveals novel resistance genes and regulatory regions

This study identifies novel resistance genes and regulatory regions in Mycobacterium tuberculosis using genome-wide association analysis of drug resistance phenotypes.

Genotypic clustering does not imply recent tuberculosis transmission in a high prevalence setting: A genomic epidemiology study in Lima, Peru

This study uses genomic data to show that TB clusters identified by traditional methods may persist for decades, and WGS reveals genetic factors that may enhance transmissibility.

SELF-PRUNING affects auxin responses synergistically with the cyclophilin A DIAGEOTROPICA in tomato

The paper shows that the sp mutation in tomato affects auxin transport and responses, with epistatic interactions with diageotropica, influencing growth habit and productivity.
