A Hymenoptera-restricted gene mediating ant castes co-opts deeply conserved machinery to control organ size

Ruyan Li, Sha Song, Xiafang Zhang, Rasmus Stenbak Larsen, Yanmei Qi, Yu Li, Fuqiang Lin, Joel Vizueta, Zijun Xiong, Jie Zhao, Dashuang Zuo, Wei Dai, Jixuan Zheng, Bitao Qiu, Yue Shi, , Guojie Zhang

The paper identifies a Hymenoptera-specific gene, torch, that controls caste-specific organ size by co-opting conserved Hippo signaling machinery across species.

A multiple-causal-gene-cluster model underlying GWAS signals of Alzheimer's disease

Min Xu, Qianjin Liu, Rui Bi, Yu Li, Chunhua Zeng, Zhongjiang Yan, Quanzhen Zheng, Xiao Li, Chunli Sun, Maosen Ye, Xiong‐Jian Luo, Ming Li, Dengfeng Zhang, Yong‐Gang Yao

The paper identifies multiple causal genes and variants within GWAS loci for Alzheimer's disease and proposes a model where co-dysregulation of gene clusters contributes to disease development.
