The paper traces individual PGC clones in mice to show early stochastic bottlenecks shape clonal contributions and reproductive success.

MedakaBase provides a centralized platform for genomic resources and analysis tools for medaka fish, including gene models and omics data for multiple Oryzias species.

This study identifies Chlamydomonas γ-tubulin mutations that cause partial loss of protofilaments in centriolar microtubules, highlighting γ-tubulin's role in maintaining triplet microtubule stability.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for the Japanese cedar, using long-read and Hi-C sequencing to achieve high contiguity and accuracy.

The paper identifies Fem, a W-linked piRNA precursor in Bombyx mori, as a chimeric sequence derived from transposons, challenging previous hypotheses about its origin.

This study shows that colonization by a compatible orchid mycorrhizal fungus primes induced systemic resistance in Bletilla striata against a necrotrophic pathogen by modulating jasmonate and ethylene pathways, similar to arbuscular mycorrhizal plants.

This study compares gonadal transcriptomes of turtles and alligators during temperature-sensitive periods to identify conserved molecular cues for temperature-dependent sex determination.

This paper presents the de novo genome and transcriptome of the Japanese rhinoceros beetle Trypoxylus dichotomus, providing comprehensive genomic resources for evolutionary and functional studies.

The paper identifies a male-sterile gene (MS1) in Japanese cedar by analyzing deletions in a lipid transfer protein gene and proposes marker-assisted selection for breeding.

The paper develops PCR and LAMP markers to detect mutant alleles of the MS1 gene in Cryptomeria japonica for pollen-free cultivar production.

The paper examines the phylogenetic distribution and expression of atypical rDNA in Rhizophagus fungi, finding host-specific expression and variation enrichment in ES27L.

The paper constructs a comprehensive transcriptome reference for the Iberian ribbed newt, identifying gene modules and evolutionary features, and provides data for future research.

The paper reports the discovery of non-tandemly repeated rDNAs and their intragenomic heterogeneity in Rhizophagus irregularis, suggesting a link to adaptation and environmental response.
