The paper traces the evolutionary origins of YSL transporters and NAS in plants, showing they arose asynchronously and independently, supporting the exaptation of pre-existing transport mechanisms for Strategy-II iron uptake.

The paper analyzes lncRNA abundance and expression in parasitic plants across different parasitism levels, finding higher counts in holoparasites and tissue-specific activity in haustoria.

This study identifies that SARS-CoV-2 increases unproductive splicing isoforms of immune-related genes, potentially subverting antiviral responses.

This study identifies and characterizes two putative viral MVPs from human gut bacteriophages, showing phylogenetic and structural similarities to bacterial and eukaryotic MVPs.

CALANGO identifies genotype-phenotype associations across species by integrating genomic, evolutionary, and phenotypic data to uncover biologically relevant molecular mechanisms.

The paper investigates the evolution of Fe2+ uptake via ZIP proteins in green plants, finding that this mechanism evolved independently in land plants and chlorophyte green algae.
