The paper analyzes phenotypic data and performs genome-wide association studies and genomic selection for giant kelp to improve breeding programs.

The paper presents the first complete and annotated genome of Nereocystis luetkeana, a northeastern Pacific bull kelp, providing insights into its genomic diversity and evolutionary features.

This study compares the sequence evolution of sex-determination related genes in bivalves, mammals, and Drosophila, finding shared patterns in bivalves and mammals but not in Drosophila.

The paper analyzes hormone pathways in Kappaphycus alvarezii and related algae to understand their role in biostimulant activity, revealing conserved biosynthesis and divergent signaling.

The paper presents a power calculator using a hierarchical Bayesian model to estimate the required reads and replicates for detecting allelic imbalance with specified power and type I error control.

This study evaluates two Pacific Coast macroalgae for their ability to reduce methane emissions from ruminants in vitro, finding A. taxiformis significantly more effective than Z. farlowii.

The paper estimates the effective population size and somatic mutation rate in asexual planarians using population genetic models and pedigree data.

The paper quantitatively analyzes spatial gene expression in Drosophila eye development across species, genotypes, and sexes, revealing genetic stochasticity and evolutionary changes in gene regulatory relationships.

This study identifies a major QTL on chromosome 2 associated with circadian light sensitivity in Drosophila and finds that the timeless s/ls polymorphism contributes to phenotypic variation.
