This study shows that JEV infection in pig fetuses leads to genetic diversity in the virus and transcriptional changes in offspring, suggesting potential for onward transmission and long-term health impacts.

The paper shows that decidual natural killer cells promote trophoblast differentiation towards extravillous trophoblasts through MMP secretion and collagen remodeling in co-culture experiments.

The paper develops a comprehensive reference tool for human embryogenesis using integrated single-cell RNA-sequencing data to benchmark embryo models.

metGWAS 1.0 statically evaluates independent metabolomics and GWAS studies to identify novel metabolite-gene associations using hypergeometric testing.

The paper identifies novel regulatory elements in SARS-CoV-2 by integrating viral transcriptome sequencing with sequence and structural motifs.

The paper develops PlaNET, a DNA methylation-based ethnicity classifier for placental samples, achieving high accuracy and outperforming existing methods in population stratification correction.

This paper demonstrates that data from old human patient studies can be extracted from publication figures and reanalyzed, raising ethical concerns about data sharing.

This study identifies DNA methylation changes in early-onset preeclampsia, late-onset preeclampsia, and normotensive intrauterine growth restriction, revealing distinct methylation clusters and potential clinical subgroups.
