This paper presents the first fully phased, diploid, telomere-to-telomere genome of the zebra finch, revealing new genes and structural features.

The Vertebrate Genomes Project Phase I provides high-quality reference genomes for 816 species, enabling evolutionary and conservation insights across vertebrates.

The paper develops a bovine endometrial organoid model to study hormone responsiveness and conceptus-maternal interactions, identifying differentially expressed genes and biological processes.

The paper shows that placental phenotypes in mammals can be predicted from miRNA repertoires with high accuracy, revealing constrained genetic pathways for convergent evolution.

This study shows miR-185-5p regulates pathways linked to implantation failure by altering protein expression and CNP family gene activity in endometrial cells.

This paper develops a 3D bovine endometrium-on-a-chip system to study conceptus-derived factors CAPG and PDI's effects on endometrial transcriptome and secretome.

The paper investigates how endometrial biosensor capability is influenced by miRNA cargo in conceptus-derived extracellular vesicles during peri-implantation, showing differential miRNA effects on endometrial gene expression.

This study uses RNA-seq to identify gene expression changes in Efcab4b knockout mice, revealing pathways linked to NAFLD progression and liver injury.

The paper shows that PDI, a conserved protein, alters endometrial function in species with different implantation strategies by modifying transcriptomes and secretomes.

The paper examines XIST RNA-protein interactions across mammals with different early pregnancy morphologies, finding conserved binding partners but species-specific binding preferences.

This study investigates the effects of in-utero sex bias on reproductive traits in female pigs, finding that birth weight has a greater impact than litter sex ratio on ovarian reserve and uterine development.

The paper uses an endometrium-on-a-chip system to show that changes in glucose and insulin concentrations alter the transcriptome and secretome of endometrial cells in vitro.
