The paper describes a panel of genetically diverse embryonic stem cells from Diversity Outbred mice to study natural genetic variation's impact on pluripotency and differentiation.

QTLretrievR simplifies molecular QTL identification in genetically diverse populations by integrating existing tools with parallelization, reducing computational time and improving accessibility.

The paper identifies 94 candidate genes in C. elegans linked to susceptibility to 23 environmental toxicants using genome-wide association analysis.

This study shows that low-coverage whole-genome sequencing (lcWGS) accurately reconstructs haplotypes in complex mouse crosses, outperforming SNP arrays and ddRADseq at low sequencing depths.

This study evaluates genome-wide association mapping in C. elegans using simulations and a new pipeline, showing increased power with more strains and lower false discovery rates in recently selected populations.

easyXpress is an R package for analyzing and visualizing high-throughput C. elegans microscopy data from CellProfiler, offering customizable filtering and interactive visualization tools.

This study shows that age and genetic background influence hybrid male sterility in house mice, revealing age-dependent fertility changes and multiple modifier alleles.

The paper identifies four new neuroprotective loci modulating cerebral infarct volume in mice by comparing wild-derived strains and finds candidate genes associated with these loci.
