Identification of cell-type-specific response to silicon treatment in soybean leaves through single nucleus RNA-sequencing

This study uses snRNA-seq to identify cell-type-specific responses to silicon treatment in soybean leaves, revealing novel Si-induced cell clusters and gene expression changes related to defense mechanisms.

Partial sex linkage and linkage disequilibrium on the guppy sex chromosome

The paper analyzes PoolSeq data from guppy populations to assess sex linkage and recombination suppression, finding evidence of linkage disequilibrium but no consistent male-specific variants.

Sensory-based quantification of male colour patterns in Trinidadian guppies reveals nonparallel phenotypic evolution across an ecological transition in multivariate trait space

The paper quantifies male color patterns in Trinidadian guppies to assess phenotypic evolution across ecological transitions, finding nonparallel divergence in multivariate trait space.

Using GC content to compare recombination patterns on the sex chromosomes and autosomes of the guppy, Poecilia reticulata, and its close outgroup species

The paper uses GC content to infer recombination patterns in guppy chromosomes, finding high recombination rates near chromosome ends and no evidence of distinct XY recombination patterns.

B1a cells protect against Schistosoma japonicum-induced liver inflammation and fibrosis by controlling monocyte infiltration

This study shows that B1a cells reduce liver inflammation and fibrosis in Schistosoma japonicum infection by secreting IL-10, which suppresses monocyte infiltration and inflammatory cytokines.
