Antigenic cartography using hamster sera identifies SARS-CoV-2 JN.1 evasion seen in human XBB.1.5 booster sera

The paper uses hamster sera to map antigenic differences among SARS-CoV-2 variants, showing JN.1 has significant antigenic divergence from XBB.1.5.

Multiscale modelling of chromatin 4D organization in SARS-CoV-2 infected cells

This study uses polymer physics to model how SARS-CoV-2 infection alters chromatin organization and gene regulation in 4D.

Modeling invasion patterns in the glioblastoma battlefield

The paper models glioblastoma invasion patterns using in vivo Drosophila experiments and mathematical models to predict tumor progression.

Comparison of the Hi-C, GAM and SPRITE methods by use of polymer models of chromatin

The paper compares Hi-C, GAM, and SPRITE methods using polymer models of chromatin to assess their accuracy and performance in capturing 3D genomic structures.

Movement of transposable elements contributes to cichlid diversity

The paper identifies transposable element (TE)-induced indels as causative variants for visual sensitivity shifts in Lake Malawi cichlids, linking TE mobility to phenotypic diversity.

Tbx2a modulates switching of opsin gene expression

The paper identifies Tbx2a as a transcription factor that switches LWS and RH2 opsin expression in African cichlid fishes by promoting one while repressing the other.

Genetic variation in a complex polyploid: unveiling the dynamic allelic features of sugarcane

The paper investigates allelic expression and genomic behavior in sugarcane, revealing duplicated and nonexpressed genes and challenges in genetic mapping.

High-fat diet suppresses the positive effect of creatine supplementation on skeletal muscle function by reducing protein expression of IGF-PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway

This study shows that high-fat diet reduces the beneficial effects of creatine supplementation on muscle function by inhibiting the IGF-PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway in rats.
