The paper examines sex-biased transcription of genes, lncRNAs, and TEs in four mouse organs, finding organ-specific patterns and clustering of sex-biased TEs near sex-biased genes and lncRNAs.

The paper evaluates SV detection performance across DNBSEQ and Illumina platforms using 40 tools, finding consistent results in metrics and genomic characteristics.

This study uses Random Forests to predict vernalization response in barley by integrating genomic and environmental data, identifying key factors influencing flowering time.

Delphy provides a fast, scalable Bayesian phylogenetic analysis tool for outbreak tracking, achieving 1,000x speedups while maintaining state-of-the-art accuracy.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for brook trout using Hi-C and long-read sequencing, achieving high contiguity and annotation coverage.

The paper develops a framework to quantitatively analyze spatial centromere distribution patterns using clustering metrics and modeling techniques, identifying Ripleys K Score as the most accurate metric.

This study identifies genetic associations and evolutionary factors underlying androgenetic alopecia in African men, showing poor generalization of European genetic predictions and continental differences in allele frequencies.

The paper shows that the distribution of protein folds in marine plankton communities deviates from a power law to a Type II Pareto distribution when scaling from individual genomes to communities.

The paper tracks genomic and immunogenetic diversity loss in the orange-bellied parrot over time, finding a 62% reduction in genomic diversity and decreased Toll-like receptor alleles, increasing disease susceptibility.

The paper identifies a Helitron subfamily expansion in Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus that contributes to genome size increase through subtelomeric amplification, suggesting a shared cnidarian mechanism.

This study integrates transcriptomic, genomic, and GWAS data to identify genes and eQTLs associated with the PB transcriptome response to M. bovis infection in cattle.

This study demonstrates real-time genomic classification of pediatric acute leukemia using long-read sequencing with adaptive sampling, identifying key alterations faster than traditional methods.

The paper shows that hunter-gatherer continuity persisted in the Rhine-Meuse region longer than in continental Europe, with Bell Beaker groups later disrupting this pattern through mixture.

This study traces the origin and spread of Anopheles stephensi in Africa using genomic data and identifies insecticide resistance genes from Asia.

This study identifies neotenic transcriptomic features in the adult turquoise killifish brain, showing embryonic gene expression patterns and their potential role in maintaining high proliferation and metabolic rates.

This study identifies novel genetic loci associated with growth and carcass traits in Chongqing local goats using whole-genome resequencing.
