The impact of transplant location on the gut microbiome and resistome in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at home versus in the hospital

This study compares the gut microbiome and resistome of patients undergoing home versus hospital hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, finding no significant differences but noting confounding factors in secondary analyses.

A proposed new Tombusviridae genus featuring extremely long 5 prime untranslated regions and a luteo/polerovirus-like gene block

The paper identifies a new Tombusviridae genus, Rimosavirus, based on long 5' UTRs and unique gene organization features across twelve viral genomes.

Synovial Sarcoma Chromatin Dynamics Reveal a Continuum in SS18:SSX Reprograming

This study examines the epigenomic states of synovial sarcoma using multi-omics analysis, revealing a continuum of epigenomic states and identifying H3K4me3 inhibition as a potential therapeutic strategy.

Within-species floral evolution reveals convergence in adaptive walks during incipient pollinator shift

The paper compares floral traits, genomics, and pollinator interactions in two yellow-flowered monkeyflower species to show convergent adaptive walks during pollinator shifts.

Complex petal spot formation in the Beetle Daisy (Gorteria diffusa) relies on spot-specific accumulation of malonylated anthocyanin regulated by paralogous GdMYBSG6 transcription factors

This study identifies three R2R3-MYB transcription factors that regulate spot-specific malonylated anthocyanin production in Gorteria diffusa petals.

Pangenomics facilitated with structural analysis reveals host NAD+ manipulation as a major virulence activity of bacterial effectors

This study identifies 13 type III effectors in Pseudomonas syringae with potential NADase activity, showing that NAD+ manipulation is a key virulence strategy in plant pathogens.

Genetic dissection of cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate biosynthesis in plant mitochondria

This study identifies new mutants in Arabidopsis thaliana that affect molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis, revealing roles for ATM3 and CNX2 in cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate (cPMP) synthesis.
