The study quantifies survival benefits and germline competition costs of chimerism in Botryllus schlosseri, finding survival advantages outweigh competition costs.

The paper uses cfDNA/cfRNA sequencing to identify molecular correlates of bNAb development in HIV patients, finding an MHC class I activation signature and microbial changes associated with bNAb production.

This study characterizes the transcriptomic and cellular dynamics of whole CNS regeneration in the tunicate Polycarpa mytiligera, identifying key pathways and markers involved in the process.

The paper identifies age-specific circadian gene expression patterns in Botryllus schlosseri and links them to aging phenotypes and pathways.

This study compares molecular and morphological signatures in two developmental pathways of tunicates, finding distinct molecular programs but shared stem cell profiles.

The paper uses cell-free DNA sequencing to identify microbial taxa in non-human primates, revealing potential zoonotic pathogens and their association with host species.

The paper identifies hematopoietic stem cells and related lineages in Botryllus schlosseri, suggesting their evolutionary origin in a common ancestor of tunicates and vertebrates.

This study uses single-cell RNAseq to analyze infiltrating neoplastic cells in human glioblastoma, identifying consistent gene signatures and distinct myeloid cell populations across patients.
