The paper introduces a hybrid annotation framework that improves cross-species protein similarity assignment and gene annotation in evolutionarily divergent genomes, expanding structural catalogs and improving single-cell immune cell state annotation in sea lamprey.

This study identifies the murine dura mater as a transient niche for early-postnatal B lymphopoiesis, highlighting the role of CXCL12-expressing fibroblasts in supporting B cell development.

The paper uses single-cell RNA sequencing and flow cytometry to analyze ovarian immune cells in mice under high and low estradiol states, finding dynamic changes in NK and B cell populations during the periovulatory phase.

The paper investigates the role of CSMD1 in opposing the complement cascade in neural tissues and links its dysfunction to schizophrenia risk.
