The discovery of a recombinant SARS2-like CoV strain provides insights into SARS and COVID-2019 pandemics

The paper identifies recombination regions and mutation sites in SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, and SARS-like CoVs, linking specific genetic features to pandemic emergence.

A negative feedback model to explain regulation of SARS-CoV-2 replication and transcription

The paper proposes a negative feedback model explaining SARS-CoV-2 replication and transcription regulation through nsp15 cleavage of transcription regulatory sequences.

Precise annotation of human, chimpanzee, rhesus macaque and mouse mitochondrial genomes using 5’ and 3’ end small RNAs

The paper annotates mitochondrial genomes of human, chimpanzee, rhesus macaque, and mouse using 5' and 3' end small RNAs at 1 base-pair resolution, revealing novel functions and conserved sequence blocks.

NormExpression: an R package to normalize gene expression data using evaluated methods

NormExpression evaluates normalization methods using AUCVC and mSCC metrics, showing consistency across bulk and scRNA-seq data, and provides an R package for method comparison.

Using high-resolution annotation of insect mitochondrial DNA to decipher tandem repeats in the control region

This study uses sRNA-seq to annotate the mitochondrial genome of Erthesina fullo at 1 bp resolution, revealing new insights into tandem repeats and steady-state lncRNAs.

Using pan RNA-seq analysis to reveal the ubiquitous existence of 5' and 3' end small RNAs

This study uses pan RNA-seq to show the widespread presence of 5' and 3' end small RNAs, which can annotate mitochondrial and nuclear non-coding genes and identify new steady-state RNAs, challenging classical theories.
