The paper optimizes gene editing tools for Capsella bursa-pastoris, creating a homoeolog-aware gRNA database and demonstrating successful in vivo editing of homoeologous genes.

This study examines the plastid genome of Rhopalocnemis phalloides, finding exceptionally high intraspecific polymorphism and identifying misclassified plastid genomes in NCBI databases.

The paper investigates how mtDNA deletion variants (rho-) outcompete wild-type mtDNA (rho+) in yeast, finding higher copy numbers and intracellular fitness advantage contribute to biased inheritance.

Trans2express is a de novo transcriptome assembly pipeline that produces high-quality assemblies suitable for gene expression analysis in non-model plants.

This study reports the chromosome-scale genome of Heracleum sosnowskyi, revealing an unusually high number of genes without recent whole-genome duplications, and identifies genes involved in furanocoumarin biosynthesis.

FLIC reconstructs full-length isoforms from long-read data, outperforming existing tools and matching CAGE accuracy while being more efficient.

The paper compares the nuclear genomes of non-photosynthetic Balanophoraceae plants with their photosynthetic relatives, finding higher substitution rates and gene loss in Balanophoraceae.

The paper presents methods to improve fetal variant calling accuracy in the presence of maternal cell contamination using Bayesian models and learned genotype-correction models.

The paper introduces Red-C, a method to study RNA-DNA interactions, identifies ncRNAs associated with repressed chromatin, and traces mRNA production kinetics in K562 cells.

This paper describes the sequenced plastid genome of the heterotrophic plant Rhopalocnemis phalloides, highlighting its extreme reduction and high AT content.

This study analyzes the genome of Adineta vaga to show that recombination occurs despite the absence of meiosis, suggesting a mechanism for genetic exchange in asexual populations.

The paper compares transcriptomes of mycoheterotrophic plants to show lineage-specific genomic changes and substitution rates in nuclear genes related to photosynthesis.

The paper analyzes coat color alleles and mtDNA haplotypes in Russian cats to study population genetics and phylogeography, finding genetic homogeneity and unique mitotypes.
