The paper introduces a quantum entropy framework to analyze ancestry tract correlation structures in admixture, revealing insights into chromosomal disorder and the 'large-X/Z' effect in hybrid zones.

This study presents three genomes of Cyclocarya paliurus, identifies recent whole-genome duplications, and links dosage-effect genes to adaptive traits like photosynthesis and triterpenoid accumulation.

The paper examines non-additive gene action in plant domestication using genetic crosses and gene regulatory networks, finding that non-additive effects are more common in domesticated-wild crosses and propagate through GRNs.

The paper reclassifies glycopeptide antibiotics as xyclopeptides based on structural and evolutionary analyses of biosynthetic gene clusters.

The paper identifies avirulence/virulence loci on barley chromosome 6H using genetic mapping and genome-wide association studies in the Pyrenophora teres f. teres - barley interaction.

This paper introduces a method to estimate cross-ancestry genetic correlation using individual-level data, finding significant genetic heterogeneity in obesity between African and European ancestry groups.

This paper identifies miRNAs associated with type 2 diabetes and glycemic traits through genetic analysis of miRNA expression in human pancreatic islets.

The paper introduces HEELS, a new estimator for local heritability using GWAS summary statistics and LD matrix, achieving high statistical efficiency comparable to REML.

This study investigates honeybee populations in Kazakhstan, finding genetic admixture and outbreeding across subspecies due to historical cross-breeding and unregulated mating.

The paper develops a method to deduce genotypes at specific loci from SNP array data using haplotype sharing, validated in apple and cherry breeding programs.

This paper evaluates covariate selection in GWAS for 36 UK-Biobank traits, proposing guidelines to improve power and reduce computational burden.

This paper describes a CRISPR/Cas9-based method to create a mouse model with a tandem duplication of Irak1 and Mecp2, which exhibits MDS-like neurological and immune phenotypes.

This study shows the Rad55-Rad57 complex promotes Rad51 filament stability on UV-induced single-strand DNA gaps, counteracting error-prone polymerases to favor error-free homologous recombination.

This study evaluates drought adaptability of Triticum turgidum subspecies under moisture stress, linking traits like solvent retention capacity to quality and agronomic performance.

The paper identifies context-specific genetic effects on gene regulation in neural progenitors by stimulating the Wnt pathway and analyzing chromatin accessibility and gene expression.

The paper investigates the role of heterochromatin and RNAi in genome stability in Mucorales fungi, finding they act independently to control transposition and maintain genome integrity.

The paper identifies the temporal emergence of genetic variants linked to human brain and cognitive traits over the past five million years.

The paper identifies 10 genes with conserved expression in the optic fissure across vertebrates and suggests EMX2, NID1, and EPHB3 as novel candidate genes for ocular coloboma.

The paper evaluates the Collaborative Cross, Diversity Outbred, and CC-RIX populations for genetic analysis tasks, finding CC and CC-RIX better for heritability estimates and DO better for detecting small-effect loci in polygenic traits.
