This paper introduces a contrastive learning framework for dimensionality reduction of genetic data, showing improved preservation of global structure and generalization over existing methods.

The paper introduces a method called cytoduction to efficiently transfer plasmids into diverse yeast libraries while preserving genetic diversity.

The paper identifies NESPR, an adrenergic-specific lncRNA, as a regulator of neuroblastoma cell identity that prevents cell death by attenuating stress.

The paper edits 8 genes in pigs to reduce immune rejection and tests their effectiveness in xenotransplantation to non-human primates.

The paper develops formulas to estimate heritabilities and genetic correlations in large genomic models using predictivity, validated with real and simulated data.

The paper identifies regions in cwr-1 and cwr-2 genes that confer allelic specificity in the cell wall remodeling checkpoint of Neurospora crassa, revealing critical domains for allorecognition.

This study optimizes the Cre-Lox system for efficient genome modification in mice by analyzing factors like loxP distance, Cre-driver strain, and breeding age.

The paper identifies HZL-1, an RNA helicase regulated by AMPK, which modulates TOR signaling to maintain germline quiescence during dauer in C. elegans.

The paper develops a SNP-based paternity assignment test to evaluate mating station effectiveness in honey bees and applies it to a specific location in Spain.

This paper reassesses the measurement error assumption in twin studies and introduces a hierarchical model to improve heritability estimation accuracy.

The paper characterizes two CENH3 paralogs in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, showing their essential function and association with ZeppL-LINE1 elements in centromeres.

This study identifies genetic modules and epistasis driving wheat yield improvement through GWAS and haplotype analysis across diverse environments.

The paper identifies a premature stop codon in the gch2 gene in axanthic ball pythons, linking it to pterin-based pigmentation and establishing ball pythons as a vertebrate model for studying axanthism.

This study evaluates qpAdm's performance on complex admixture histories and stepping-stone landscapes, finding high false discovery rates and suggesting protocol improvements.
