Image-based profiling of healthy donor immune cells with Blood Cell Painting reveals novel genotype-phenotype associations

The paper develops Blood Cell Painting (BCP) to profile immune cell morphology in healthy donors, identifying genetic and clinical associations with immune cell features.

Post-death Vesicles of Senescent Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal Polyploids Promote Macrophage Aging and Breast Cancer

Phylogenomics reveals coincident divergence between giant host sea anemones and the clownfish adaptive radiation.

This paper uses phylogenomic analysis to show that clownfish-hosting sea anemones diversified coincidently with clownfishes, supporting co-evolutionary patterns in their mutualistic relationship.

A cnidarian phylogenomic tree fitted with hundreds of 18S leaves

The paper constructs a cnidarian phylogenomic tree using 18S rRNA data and transcriptomes, confirming key relationships and proposing a new clade name.

Knockout of a single Sox gene resurrects an ancestral cell type in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis

The paper shows that knocking out NvSox2 in Nematostella vectensis converts nematocytes into spirocytes, revealing a mechanism for cnidocyte diversity.

Topology Testing and Demographic Modeling Illuminate a Novel Speciation Pathway in the Greater Caribbean Sea Following the Formation of the Isthmus of Panama

The paper uses genomic data and demographic modeling to show that the closure of the Isthmus of Panama and Gulf Stream strengthening 3.5 million years ago drove a novel speciation pathway in the Pedersons cleaner shrimp species complex.

Phylogenetic relationships among the clownfish-hosting sea anemones

This study conducts the largest phylogenetic analysis of clownfish-hosting sea anemones to assess their evolutionary relationships and biogeographic origins.

Genomic signatures of sympatric speciation with historical and contemporary gene flow in a tropical anthozoan

This study uses genomic data to investigate sympatric speciation in tropical sea anemones, finding evidence of historical and contemporary gene flow supporting a sympatric origin.

Fine-mapping of genetic loci driving spontaneous clearance of hepatitis C virus infection

This study fine-maps genetic loci associated with spontaneous clearance of hepatitis C virus infection, identifying a narrower region in the MHC locus and suggesting subtype-specific effects.
