Genome sequence and RNA-seq analysis reveal genetic basis of flower coloration in the giant water lily Victoria cruziana

The paper identifies genetic and transcriptional factors responsible for flower color change in Victoria cruziana using genome and RNA-seq analysis.

T7 RNA polymerase-independent expression of reporter genes from a T7 promoter-driven SARS-CoV-2 replicon-encoding DNA in human cells

This study shows that a SARS-CoV-2 replicon DNA can express reporter genes in human cells without requiring T7 RNA polymerase or RNA replication.
