The paper develops TEITbase, a database of TE-initiated transcripts in 33 cancer types, identifying 38,995 transcripts and 6,203 tumor-specific ones, with tools for downstream analysis.

The paper identifies TE-initiated transcripts across human tissues and embryonic stem cells, showing tissue-specific activation and primate-specific TSSs contributing to gene regulation.

This study identifies circDS-1, a circular RNA in Talaromyces marneffei, that promotes dimorphic transition and virulence, revealing a novel mechanism for fungal thermal adaptation.

The paper introduces circFL-seq, a method for full-length circRNA sequencing using RCRT and nanopore sequencing, identifying 77,606 high-quality circRNAs from human cell lines and tissues.
