Paired metagenomic and chemical evaluation of an aflatoxin contaminated dog kibble

The paper evaluates aflatoxin-contaminated dog kibble using paired metagenomic and chemical data to correlate fungal DNA abundance with toxin levels.

Metagenomic survey of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Maryland surface waters differentiated by high and low human impact

The paper surveys antimicrobial resistance in Maryland surface waters, finding higher prevalence of beta-lactamase genes in high human impact areas.

Multimodal decoding of human liver regeneration

This study uses single-nuclei RNA sequencing and spatial profiling to create a single-cell atlas of human liver regeneration, identifying a novel migratory hepatocyte subpopulation and demonstrating that wound closure precedes hepatocyte proliferation.

Application of Quasimetagenomics Methods to Define Microbial Diversity and Subtype Listeria monocytogenes in Dairy and Seafood Production Facilities

This study uses 16S rRNA and shotgun quasimetagenomic sequencing to analyze microbial diversity and subtype Listeria monocytogenes in food production facilities, establishing detection thresholds and providing insights for pathogen control.

Advancing antimicrobial resistance monitoring in surface waters with metagenomic and quasimetagenomic methods

This study compares metagenomic and quasimetagenomic methods to detect antimicrobial resistance genes in surface waters, showing quasimetagenomic data identifies significantly more resistance determinants.

Phase Separation of a Nodulin Sec14-like protein Maintains Auxin Efflux Carrier Polarity at Arabidopsis Plasma Membranes

The paper shows that phase separation of SEC14-like protein, mediated by proteolysis, maintains auxin efflux carrier polarity at Arabidopsis plasma membranes, contributing to root developmental robustness.

Serum glycoprotein markers in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma

This study identifies serum glycoprotein markers that distinguish non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from healthy controls.

Divergence in a stress-associated gene regulatory network underlies differential growth control in the Brassicaceae family

The study identifies conserved and divergent ABA gene regulatory networks across Brassicaceae species, revealing how network structure influences growth control under stress.

Bipartite influence of abscisic acid on xylem differentiation trajectories is dependent on distinct VND transcription factors in Arabidopsis

This study shows that ABA influences xylem differentiation through distinct VND transcription factors in Arabidopsis, revealing genetic independence in cell fate and differentiation rate.

Kidney single-cell atlas reveals myeloid heterogeneity in progression and regression of kidney disease.

The paper uses scRNA-seq to study kidney disease progression and regression, identifying new myeloid cell subtypes and their roles in injury and repair.

Resolving the fibrotic niche of human liver cirrhosis using single-cell transcriptomics

This study uses single-cell transcriptomics to identify novel fibrotic cell types and interactions in human liver cirrhosis, revealing potential therapeutic targets.

Incursion of killer sponge Terpios hoshinota on the coral reefs of Lakshadweep archipelago

The paper documents the outbreak of killer sponge Terpios hoshinota on coral reefs in Lakshadweep and notes its expansion into isolated atolls of the Indian subcontinent.
