Deciphering the gut microbiome of grass carp through multi-omics approach

The paper uses a multi-omics approach to analyze the gut microbiome of grass carp, identifying two functional groups and proposing a biomarker for microbiota structure and function.

Origin of eukaryotic-like Vps23 shapes an ancient functional interplay between ESCRT and ubiquitin system in Asgard archaea

The paper identifies a novel UEV-Vps23 family protein in Asgard archaea that mediates an ancient ESCRT-ubiquitin interplay, suggesting this pathway predates eukaryotic endomembrane systems.

A self-blinking DNA probe for 3D superresolution imaging of native chromatin

This paper introduces a self-blinking DNA probe for 3D superresolution imaging of native chromatin in live cells, revealing chromatin organization and decompaction dynamics.

Keystone species determine the productivity of synthetic microbial biofilm communities

The paper identifies keystone species in synthetic microbial biofilm communities that influence their productivity through metabolic facilitation or competition.

9p21 Loss Defines the Evolutionary Patterns of Aggressive Renal Cell Carcinomas

This study establishes a mouse model of renal cell carcinoma showing that 9p21 loss drives aggressive tumor evolution with chromosomal instability and metastasis.

Developmental genetics of corolla tube formation: role of the tasiRNA-ARF pathway

This study identifies the tasiRNA-ARF pathway's role in corolla tube formation in Mimulus lewisii through mutant and transgenic analyses, showing its impact on auxin distribution and petal primordium growth.

The emergence, evolution, and diversification of the miR390-TAS3-ARF pathway in land plants

This paper traces the evolutionary history of the miR390-TAS3-ARF pathway across land plants, showing its conservation and diversification in regulatory mechanisms.
