MC1R residue 223 is a convergent target for coat-colour lightening in domestic and wild bovids

The paper investigates the molecular evolution of grey coat color in cattle and identifies MC1R residue 223 as a recurrent target for coat-color lightening in both domestic and wild bovids.

Single-cell Transcriptome Profiling of Post-treatment and Treatment-naive Colorectal Cancer: Insights into Putative Mechanisms of Chemoresistance

This study uses scRNA-seq to compare treatment-naive and post-treatment colorectal cancer samples, identifying markers and cell types associated with chemoresistance and response.

Mitochondrial sites of contact with the nucleus aid in chemotherapy evasion of glioblastoma cells

This study identifies TSPO-mediated mitochondrial-nuclear contacts as a mechanism enabling glioblastoma cells to evade TMZ chemotherapy, showing that modulating TSPO restores chemosensitivity.

Mammalian mitochondrial mutational spectrum as a hallmark of cellular and organismal aging.

The paper investigates mtDNA mutational spectra across species and tissues, finding a correlation between AH>GH substitutions and longevity, suggesting it as a potential oxidative damage signature in mtDNA.

Demographic history, cold adaptation, and recent NRAP recurrent convergent evolution at amino acid residue 100 in the world northernmost cattle from Russia

The paper investigates the evolutionary history and adaptation of two northern Russian cattle breeds, identifying a convergent mutation in NRAP associated with cold adaptation.

Chromosome-level assembly of the common lizard (Zootoca vivipara) genome

The paper assembles a high-quality chromosome-level genome of the common lizard Zootoca vivipara using hybrid sequencing and linkage mapping.

Genomic differentiation and intercontinental population structure of mosquito vectors Culex pipiens pipiens and Culex pipiens molestus

This study examines genomic differentiation and population structure between two mosquito subspecies, finding monophyletic clusters and signs of admixture in one subspecies.
