This study evaluates genomic prediction of metabolic content in rice grains under control and high night temperature conditions, finding moderate heritability and improved accuracy with non-additive models.

This study shows that TLK1 and TLK2 hyper-autophosphorylation suppresses their recruitment to damaged chromatin by masking the PIP-box, which is required for PCNA interaction.

The paper applies Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests to analyze sample structure and genetic background effects on lifespan and aging.

The paper examines how neighborhood deprivation moderates the effect of genetic predisposition on life satisfaction using twin data.

This study shows that gene editing of HSCs without ex vivo culture reduces genotoxicity while maintaining therapeutic efficacy for beta-hemoglobinopathy treatment.

The paper constructs comprehensive expression datasets for two honey bee species, Apis mellifera and Apis cerana japonica, using RNA-Seq data and reference transcript sequences.

This study shows that interchromosomal contacts between regulatory regions can establish stable transgenerational epigenetic inheritance in Drosophila through chromatin interactions mediated by GAGA-factor and Pleiohomeotic.

This study examines the impact of negative life events on epigenetic aging in twins, finding associations between life stressors and accelerated aging markers, which are reduced in monozygotic twins.

The paper investigates Zelda's role in histone gene regulation in Drosophila melanogaster and finds that Zelda does not affect histone mRNA levels or histone locus body formation when depleted.

This study investigates the role of cped1 in zebrafish bone and lean mass, finding no significant effects on these traits despite loss of function.

This study develops an age-prediction model using DNA methylation from a single ELOV2 genomic region, validated across cohorts and forensic applications.

The paper analyzes genetic diversity in 55 sea buckthorn varieties using whole-genome sequencing to identify DNA polymorphisms and assess genetic relationships.

This study shows that prolonged cell cycle arrest in yeast after DNA damage requires both DNA damage checkpoint (DDC) and spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) proteins, with a handoff from DDC to SAC components after 15 hours.

The paper identifies two divergent haploid genomes in wheat stripe rust, showing their role in generating diversity and virulence through hybridization and recombination.

This study investigates the role of H3T3 phosphorylation in meiosis of S. cerevisiae by analyzing sporulation efficiency and spore viability in mutants.

This study determines updated GWAS significance thresholds for large cohorts, finding that a stricter p-value threshold reduces false positives in studies including rare variants.

This study shows that H3.1K27M disrupts chromatin maturation, leading to TSK/TONSL activation and genomic instability in Arabidopsis.

This study identifies genetic factors underlying gut length variation in Lake Malawi cichlids, showing sex-specific quantitative trait loci and epistatic interactions linked to trophic level differences and sexual conflict.

This study shows that Hsc70Cb is essential for spermatogenesis in Drosophila, with knockdown causing sterility and sperm defects, supporting its role in human male fertility.

The paper identifies 15 genes with high-impact germline variants overrepresented in early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) and shows 11 of these variants are specific to EOCRC.
