The paper identifies recombination regions and mutation sites in SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, and SARS-like CoVs, linking specific genetic features to pandemic emergence.

The paper proposes a negative feedback model explaining SARS-CoV-2 replication and transcription regulation through nsp15 cleavage of transcription regulatory sequences.

The paper annotates mitochondrial genomes of human, chimpanzee, rhesus macaque, and mouse using 5' and 3' end small RNAs at 1 base-pair resolution, revealing novel functions and conserved sequence blocks.

NormExpression evaluates normalization methods using AUCVC and mSCC metrics, showing consistency across bulk and scRNA-seq data, and provides an R package for method comparison.

This study uses sRNA-seq to annotate the mitochondrial genome of Erthesina fullo at 1 bp resolution, revealing new insights into tandem repeats and steady-state lncRNAs.

This study uses pan RNA-seq to show the widespread presence of 5' and 3' end small RNAs, which can annotate mitochondrial and nuclear non-coding genes and identify new steady-state RNAs, challenging classical theories.

The study detects a 235-bp DNA segment from African Swine Fever Virus in hard ticks from sheep and bovine, showing 99% identity with ASFV and suggesting a new strain.
