The paper identifies a CLAMT1 gene responsible for strigolactone production and Striga susceptibility in pearl millet by comparing genome assemblies of susceptible and resistant lines.

The paper identifies widespread transcription initiation at microsatellites across species and develops deep learning models to predict STR-associated transcription and its impact on disease variants.

The paper identifies the envelope protein E as a therapeutic target for COVID-19 and suggests existing drugs that inhibit this protein could prevent ARDS.
