This study identifies the IFN-STAT1/STAT5B-SOCS1 axis as a mechanism by which respiratory viruses activate autophagy, showing that targeting this pathway can inhibit virus replication without compromising innate immunity.

The paper analyzes genomic divergence in Alternaria alternata populations across wild tomato hosts, finding two divergent clades not linked to host, geography, or habitat.

The paper uses microscopy to study delayed co-transcriptional splicing in the highly expressed thyroglobulin gene, finding a delay in splicing downstream of transcribed introns.

The paper presents the first chromosome-level genome assembly of Flaccisagitta enflata, providing a resource for comparative genomic studies in Chaetognatha and Gnathifera.

The paper identifies HOXB13 as a candidate gene for tail length variation in Merinolandschaf sheep through haplotype mapping and candidate variant analysis.

This study uses RNAseq to identify genes differentially regulated by Notch signaling inhibition in Hydra, revealing roles in nematocyte development and head organizer formation.

The paper introduces a method to measure nucleosome array regularity and spacing using nanopore sequencing, revealing relationships with chromatin states and promoter activity.

This paper uses taxogenomics to identify a new genus and species in Placozoa based on genome comparisons.

A 125-megabase draft genome of the contractile demosponge Tethya wilhelma reveals extensive lineage-specific expansions, losses, and domain rearrangements across early metazoan neural signaling gene families.

The paper sequences and analyzes the complete mitochondrial genomes of two gorgonians, identifying phylogenetic relationships among octocoral species.
