The paper studies the evolution of regulatory chromatin contacts in duplicated genes using Hi-C data, finding faster divergence in chromatin contacts compared to expression patterns.

This study performs a meta-analysis of lncRNA associations with hepatocellular carcinoma, finding limited reproducibility and frequent conflicts in reported roles and expression patterns.

The paper investigates the association between transposable element expression and Y chromosome number in humans, suggesting a toxic Y effect on male longevity.

GOntact uses chromatin contact data to predict CRE target genes and their Gene Ontology enrichments, showing more specific functional annotations than genomic proximity.

The paper quantifies the fraction of alternative splicing events that are errors by analyzing transcriptomes of Paramecium tetraurelia and humans, finding that 92%-98% of splice variants in medium-expressed genes are errors.
