The paper examines the relationship between between-group and within-group heritability in hereditarianism, showing its lack of evolutionary content and mathematical flaws.

This study shows genetic testing reduced SOD1 mutation frequency in corgis and did not increase inbreeding.

The paper investigates missense mutations in PREPL in CMS22 patients, showing they affect non-hydrolytic functions without impairing hydrolase activity.

The paper shows Drosophila Amus and Bin3 methylases functionally replace mammalian MePCE for U6 snRNA capping and stabilization, with distinct roles in 7SK snRNA stability.

The paper shows that developmental genes and CTCF site clusters work together to enhance insulation of regulatory domains in mouse embryonic stem cells.

The paper characterizes auto-inhibition mechanisms in CARD-CC proteins by generating chimeric CARD9 constructs and identifying activating mutations linked to diseases.

This study uses RAD-seq to show low genetic diversity and isolation in the Uruguayan Otaria flavescens population compared to Patagonian populations.

This paper describes a method to efficiently generate heterothallic fission yeast strains using CRISPR-Cas9 and a mating type locus alteration.

The paper develops AVENGERS, a method using CRISPR-Cas9 to classify BRCA2 variants as functional or nonfunctional, improving the interpretation of variants of uncertain significance.

The paper identifies histone methylation, particularly via the Set1/COMPASS complex, as a key modifier of ER stress preconditioning in Drosophila.

This study uses Bayesian analysis to estimate genetic parameters for production traits in Mecheri sheep and proposes weaning weight as a selection criterion for improving growth traits.

The paper shows that the inactive X and Y chromosomes similarly affect autosomal gene expression in human cells through shared transcription factors.

The paper clusters tomato genotypes based on morphological and disease resistance traits using multivariate analysis to identify genetic similarity and variation.

The paper identifies four inflammatory ECM-related genes as prognostic biomarkers for early surgery in advanced IBD patients using bioinformatics and wet-lab analysis.

This study identifies structural variants in a domesticated Lachancea cidri yeast strain associated with improved fermentation traits compared to wild isolates.

This study uses genome-wide family prediction to identify markers associated with agronomic traits in Urochloa ruziziensis and links them to molecular mechanisms.

This paper introduces a homomorphic encryption method for genotypes and phenotypes to enable secure collaborative genomic analyses while preserving data confidentiality.

This study analyzes ancient DNA from 204 individuals to show stable population structure in Europe despite high mobility during the historical period.

The paper uses BADGERS to identify risk factors and endophenotypes for late-onset Alzheimer's disease by analyzing biobank-wide data.

This study shows RIF1 regulates early replication timing and origin activity in B cells by interacting with MCM proteins, influencing gene replication without major effects on gene expression or genome organization.
