This study uses spatial transcriptomics to identify novel Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence factors and host-pathogen interactions in ocular infection.

The paper examines gene expression responses of coral hosts and their symbionts to thermal stress, finding hosts show stronger responses than symbionts, with symbionts exhibiting greater plasticity when free-living.

This paper reviews and reanalyzes data on the evolution of sex chromosomes in guppies and their relatives, finding no nonrecombining sex determining region or evolutionary strata in P. reticulata.

The paper reanalyzes invertebrate datasets to test if DNA methylation changes correlate with gene expression changes, finding no simple relationship between the two.

The paper analyzes coral stress responses and finds two distinct types of transcriptional responses to different stress intensities in Acropora corals.

The paper investigates gene-environment interactions in zebrafish embryos, showing ethanol interacts with vangl2 and Shh pathways to cause midfacial defects.

The paper tests the caves-as-islands model in two cave-obligate invertebrates using RAD-seq, finding high genetic isolation between caves and a correlation between cave length and genetic diversity.

The paper investigates the role of gene body methylation in coral acclimatization by analyzing methylation and transcriptome changes in transplanted corals, finding limited direct correlation between GBM and transcriptional changes.
