In silico restriction site analysis of whole genome sequences shows patterns caused by selection and sequence duplications

The paper analyzes whole genome sequences to identify non-random patterns in restriction site distributions, showing deviations from random sequences and effects of GC content and repetitive elements.

NUDIX Hydrolases Target Specific Inositol Pyrophosphates and Regulate Phosphate Homeostasis and Bacterial Pathogen Susceptibility in Arabidopsis

Regulation of heterosis-associated gene expression complementation in maize hybrids

This study shows that single-parent expression complementation explains 29% of heterotic variance in maize hybrids and reveals cis/trans eQTL regulation of SPE patterns.

Integration of differential expression under drought with gene family expansion unique to drought tolerant species predicts candidate genes for drought adaptation in Brassicaceae species.

Expanding the BonnMu sequence-indexed repository of transposon induced maize (Zea mays L.) mutations in dent and flint germplasm

The paper expands the BonnMu maize mutant collection by generating 8,064 F2-families with 425,924 Mu insertions affecting 36,612 gene models.

Transcriptome profiling of barley and tomato shoot and root meristems unravels physiological variations underlying photoperiodic sensitivity

This study compares transcriptome profiles of barley and tomato shoot and root meristems under short-day conditions to identify physiological differences in photoperiodic sensitivity.

A systemic approach provides insights into the salt stress adaptation mechanisms of contrasting bread wheat genotypes

The paper integrates physiological, genetic, transcriptomics, and bioinformatics analyses to uncover salt stress adaptation mechanisms in contrasting bread wheat genotypes at osmotic and ionic phases.

The CAFA challenge reports improved protein function prediction and new functional annotations for hundreds of genes through experimental screens

The paper reports results from the CAFA3 challenge, showing improved computational protein function prediction and new annotations for over 1000 genes through experimental screens in C. albicans, P. aureginosa, and Drosophila.

Global transcriptome profiling uncovers footprints of root and shoot development in crop models barley and tomato

The paper profiles transcriptomes of root and shoot apices in barley and tomato to identify gene expression patterns and divergence in developmental processes.
