The paper develops a platform-independent SNP panel for equine parentage testing, demonstrating its robustness and utility for breed identification and disease assays.

The paper uses a yeast model to identify the nuclear import mechanism of SMAD3, showing that the MH1 domain functions as an importin binding surface.

The paper presents high-quality genomes and chromatin structure analyses of frogs, revealing conserved ancestral chromosomes and stable genome evolution.

The paper investigates the role of EMC9 and EMC10 in neural crest development using Xenopus models, finding similar phenotypes to EMC1 loss of function in craniofacial development.

This study identifies Kap-β2/Transportin as the nuclear transport receptor for β-catenin in Wnt signaling, showing its role in nuclear import and potential as a therapeutic target.

The paper identifies novel truncating mutations in CTNND1 associated with craniofacial and cardiac anomalies, expanding the known phenotypic spectrum of the gene.

The paper identifies WDR5's role in stabilizing apical actin architecture to support multiciliated cell formation and function.

This study shows that LbCpf1 enables efficient homology-directed repair and temperature-controlled genome editing in zebrafish, improving targeted DNA integration.
