This study identifies HvbZIP33 and HvbZIP76 as key regulators of transpiration in drought-stressed barley, showing their role in maintaining water use efficiency.

This study identifies a shared genetic regulator linking metabolism and addiction-related behavior in mice and humans through a common enhancer regulating Eed/Me3 and EED/ME3.

The paper uses single nuclei RNA-sequencing to identify cell-type-specific gene expression dysregulation in the frontal cortex of an Angelman syndrome pig model.

This study evaluates airborne eDNA detection of Bennetts wallabies using active and passive samplers, finding active samplers and coarse filters improve detection, especially at short distances.

This paper describes a novel rat model with an exon 45 deletion in the Dmd gene, showing features of DMD and exon skipping, which may inform personalized therapies.

The paper reports altered hepatic metabolism in Down syndrome using multi-omic analysis of plasma and mouse models, showing increased bile acids and liver dysfunction that can be modulated by diet.

The paper identifies a genetic variant that protects against clonal hematopoiesis by regulating RNA-binding protein MSI2 in hematopoietic stem cells.

The paper identifies genomic features distinguishing neuromuscular disorder genes from other genes using machine learning and statistical analysis.

GrgPhenoSim is a fast phenotype simulator for Genotype Representation Graphs, outperforming existing tools on large-scale datasets.

The paper develops genomic approaches to build elite gene pools from locally-adapted landraces, finding that QGI effectively identifies elite pairs while cis-elite crosses yield better genetic gain.

This paper presents a stochastic model of epigenetic change and proposes three testable predictions about how organisms track environments through epigenetic responses, highlighting gaps in experimental validation.

The paper identifies and validates stable QTL for spike traits under heat stress across 15 environments and develops genomic resources for breeding heat-tolerant wheat.

The paper examines genetic diversity and structure within the Olotillo maize race in Mexico, finding that genetic clusters align with geographic origin rather than race identity, and highlights inbreeding and directional selection across scales.

This study examines rRNA gene variation in the Jaera albifrons complex to assess their utility for species identification and phylogenetic analysis, finding low variability and evidence of hybridization.

This study shows enhancing Wnt signaling reduces fracture incidence in a mouse model of Osteogenesis Imperfecta by 30%.

The paper describes a mouse model with a Tuba4a mutation causing spastic ataxia and myopathy, showing disease progression and specific neurological and muscular defects.

The paper investigates unexplained admixture mapping signals in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos by examining rare variants and expanded common variant regions, finding that common variants explain most signals.

This study identifies a fluorescent marker that disrupts female blood-feeding and shortens lifespan in Anopheles gambiae, highlighting the importance of validating transgenic components.

This study shows CRISPR-Cas targeting in Haloferax volcanii increases within-species mating and recombination, promoting gene exchange while limiting inter-species transfer.

This study analyzes genome-wide data from Early Bronze Age individuals in Lower Austria to explore social structure and genetic relationships, revealing patrilocal society and long-distance genetic connections.
