The paper identifies SmGLK2 as the gene controlling fruit green netting in eggplants, showing mutations that disrupt chlorophyll biosynthesis and contribute to fruit color diversity.

The paper develops a general model of chiasma interference and derives formulas for sterility and recombination probabilities in inversion karyotypes.

This study shows that accounting for isoform expression in eQTL mapping increases power and highlights issues with current methods in real data.

The paper identifies chromatin loop rewiring in adipogenesis and discovers novel regulators and gene-trait associations relevant to obesity and diabetes.

The paper identifies protein-protein interactions and proteolytic activity as key factors determining the functional replaceability of human proteasome subunits in yeast.

This study investigates the functional impact of a BAG3 allele associated with reduced heart failure risk, showing it enhances cardiomyocyte stress resistance through altered protein interactions.

The paper identifies CNVs in KOLF2.1J iPSCs linked to neurological disorders, showing they arose in vitro and affect gene expression in neural cells.

This paper shows that overexpression of FOLR-1 in C. elegans shortens lifespan, dependent on gut microbiota, revealing a non-canonical role of folate receptors in aging.

This study identifies new genes and mechanisms regulating fluconazole resistance in C. glabrata, showing Pdr1 senses cellular stress rather than directly responding to antifungals.

This study uses patient iPSC-derived models to test TRIDs for restoring PAX6 function in aniridia, identifying amlexanox as effective in increasing PAX6 levels and rescuing disease phenotypes.

The paper compares phenotypic and transcriptomic changes in natural and resynthesized allopolyploids of Capsella bursa-pastoris to distinguish short-term and long-term evolutionary effects.

The paper investigates how the intracellular level of Rad51 in S. cerevisiae is regulated through proteolysis involving SUMO and ubiquitin modifications.

This study examines visual-motor integration deficits in 3q29 deletion syndrome, finding significant gender differences and associations with ADHD and cognitive ability.

The paper tests genetic variation for limited transpiration in sorghum under field conditions and evaluates canopy temperature as a surrogate trait.

The paper reports a viral metagenomic analysis of fecal samples from Southeastern Maned Sloths, identifying viral families and disease-associated bacterial genera.

This study expresses a pathogenic HD construct in Drosophila muscle and finds distinct aggregate distributions and phenotypes depending on expression timing and level.

This study identifies genetic variants associated with sputum mucin concentrations and links one variant to COPD phenotypes like chronic bronchitis and acute exacerbations.

The paper identifies genetic variants associated with the loss of mechanical entrainment in circalunar clocks of marine midges, revealing a complex genetic architecture and candidate genes involved in the trait.

The paper studies the evolutionary history and genetic structure of an urban-dwelling bat species on Reunion Island, finding no spatial genetic structure and suggesting in-situ diversification and ancient population expansion.

This study uses genotype-by-sequencing on hair follicle DNA to genetically characterize a captive marmoset colony, revealing low inbreeding and identifying clinically significant SNVs.
