This paper examines how genetic interactions with ancestry affect polygenic scores and shows that models of local and global ancestry interactions can be distinguished using partial polygenic scores when causal variants are known.

The paper investigates the conservation of essential germline stem cell genes across Drosophila species, finding that the function of bam is conserved in D. americana but not in D. teissieri, and that ~8% of GSC genes show absence across species.

This study evaluates enviromic models for predicting upland rice productivity in Brazil by integrating environmental and genetic data, finding that comprehensive environmental covariates improve model stability and accuracy.

The paper traces the evolution of mating-type loci in Cryptococcus and related species, revealing genomic dynamics like locus expansions, GC-content changes, and linkage transitions.

The paper estimates growth curves for citrus hybrid seedlings using fragmented longitudinal data and Bayesian nonlinear models, showing improved parameter estimation with genomic integration.

The paper identifies SENP7 and UTF1/VENTX as new loci influencing cPCDH methylation in blood and brain through a genome-wide association study.

The paper develops a DNA methylation predictor for C9orf72 repeat expansion carriers using EPICv2 data, achieving 98.6% accuracy and identifying four carriers in an independent cohort.

The paper uses ancient DNA from the Southern Urals to link the 10th century Hungarians to the Karayakupovo archaeological horizon.

This study identifies Anks3 as a key regulator of cilia-dependent polycystin signaling and shows its essential role in kidney homeostasis.

The paper develops a pan-generic 3K DArTag marker panel for Malus species to enable genetic research and breeding, showing strong cross-species transferability and utility for QTL mapping and marker-assisted selection.

The paper uses sex-stratified analyses to explore genetic architecture of complex traits in mice and humans, finding high concordance in allelic effect directions and suggesting new methods for identifying biologically significant associations.

The paper shows that PRC2 represses genes during sexual development in Neurospora crassa, and its loss leads to premature fruiting body formation.

The paper analyzes the genetic structure of a Sindhi population in West coast India, finding significant genetic affinity with the Burusho group and evidence of recent admixture with the Konkani population.

This study identifies HDA-1 as essential for maintaining epigenome stability in Neurospora crassa by regulating H3K27me3 and heterochromatin integrity.

This paper introduces RoP, a method to analyze phase effects in genetic association studies using long-read sequencing data, showing improved detection of cis and trans effects in cystic fibrosis loci.

The paper uses single-cell RNA-seq to show no evidence of meiotic sex chromosome inactivation in threespine stickleback fish, suggesting MSCI is not conserved in teleosts.

This study identifies genetic associations between brain structure/function, cognitive traits, and psychopathologies in children using polygenic scores and multivariate analysis.

The paper proposes a method to correct for multiple testing in genome scans for recent positive selection using identity-by-descent segments, showing it controls FWER and detects selection signals across ancestry groups.

This study analyzes transcriptomes of Atlantic salmon gonad and pituitary tissues to identify novel genes and lncRNAs involved in sexual maturation and their regulatory roles.

This study identifies candidate genes for IPN resistance in rainbow trout using a high-density genome-wide association study and Bayesian modeling.
