The paper identifies a segmental duplication-mediated deletion causing neocentromere formation in orangutans by analyzing structural and epigenetic variation.

The paper introduces a method using multi-parent RILs crossed to a tester to dissect cis and trans regulation of gene expression in Drosophila, finding environmental and genetic trans effects in 31% and 19% of loci respectively.

The paper presents a power calculator using a hierarchical Bayesian model to estimate the required reads and replicates for detecting allelic imbalance with specified power and type I error control.

The paper introduces BASE, a Bayesian pipeline for analyzing allelic imbalance to identify cis regulatory variation, showing it validates ~75% of predicted differences between non-tester alleles.
