The paper identifies thousands of FLEXIs in human cells, links them to RNA-binding proteins, and suggests their potential as biomarkers.

The paper identifies mechanisms by which an RT-Cas1 fusion protein integrates RNA into DNA genomes through cDNA synthesis and site-specific integration.

This study constructs the first pan-genome of Asian honeybees using long-read sequencing and identifies structural variations linked to environmental adaptation.

This study uses TGIRT-seq to analyze IBC tumor and blood samples, revealing widespread transcriptional changes and RNA splicing impacts in plasma.

The paper identifies a transient epicardial progenitor cell population in zebrafish that is essential for heart regeneration through single-cell RNA sequencing and functional analysis.

The paper identifies a bacterial group II intron-like reverse transcriptase involved in DNA repair via microhomology-mediated end joining.

The paper analyzes template switching by a group II intron reverse transcriptase, establishing kinetic parameters and identifying conditions for efficient acceptor RNA/DNA capture.

The paper improves TGIRT-seq methods by reducing adapter dimer formation and correcting 5- and 3-end biases, enhancing transcriptome coverage and library construction efficiency.

This study shows that pericentromeric hypomethylation in zebrafish triggers an interferon response, linking it to ICF syndrome-like phenotypes.

This study compares alignment-free and alignment-based RNA-seq pipelines for total RNA quantification, finding alignment-free tools less accurate for small and lowly-expressed RNAs.
