This study identifies a short isoform of SLP/SIK3 and shows both long and short isoforms contribute to increased sleep quantity and intensity in Sleepy mice.

This paper introduces a somatic genetics approach using AAV-based expression and knockout to study sleep in adult mice, identifying new sleep regulators and demonstrating its utility for essential or redundant genes.

The paper identifies rare variants associated with body length and girth in cattle through whole-exome sequencing and functional analysis.

This study improves genomic selection efficiency in Chinese Simmental beef cattle by optimizing kinship matrix estimation using SNP data and feature selection in GBLUP.
