Integrative Transcriptomic and Functional Analysis Reveals Fatty Acyl Elongases Involved in Sex Pheromone Biosynthesis in Rice Leaffolder, Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Lepidoptera: Pyraloidea)

This study identifies and functionally characterizes fatty acyl elongases involved in sex pheromone biosynthesis in rice leaffolder moths.

Genetic mechanisms of 184 neuro-related proteins in human plasma

The paper identifies genetic regulators of 184 neuro-related proteins in human plasma and links them to disease traits and drug targets.

Polygenic basis of strong and rapid flowering time response to environment perturbations in wild Arabidopsis thaliana population

The paper identifies polygenic basis and environmental interactions underlying rapid flowering time response in Arabidopsis thaliana across diverse environments.

Dual-trait pleiotropic analysis in highly stratified natural populations using genome-wide association summary statistics

This paper introduces a bivariate GWAS approach to uncover hidden genetic loci in Arabidopsis thaliana by addressing population stratification and identifies a pleiotropic gene affecting flowering time and maturation.

A high-quality genome of the mangrove Aegiceras corniculatum aids investigation of molecular adaptation to intertidal environments

This study presents a high-quality genome of Aegiceras corniculatum to explore molecular adaptations to intertidal environments, identifying gene expansions and functional changes related to salt tolerance and crypto-vivipary.

Beyond power: Multivariate discovery, replication, and interpretation of pleiotropic loci using summary association statistics

This paper develops a multi-trait framework for discovering, replicating, and interpreting pleiotropic loci using GWAS summary statistics, identifying novel genetic associations without additional genotyping.

Genomic underpinnings of lifespan allow prediction and reveal basis in modern risks

The paper identifies genetic loci associated with lifespan using genome-wide association and shows that variants linked to modern diseases explain most lifespan variation.
