Discovery of widespread transcription initiation at microsatellites predictable by sequence-based deep neural network.

The paper identifies widespread transcription initiation at microsatellites across species and develops deep learning models to predict STR-associated transcription and its impact on disease variants.

An improved pig reference genome sequence to enable pig genetics and genomics research

The paper presents improved pig reference genomes using long-read sequencing, enhancing continuity and accuracy for pig genetics and genomics research.

Repeat associated mechanisms of genome evolution and function revealed by the Mus caroli and Mus pahari genomes

The paper compares genome assemblies of Mus caroli and Mus pahari with Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus to reveal lineage-specific evolutionary mechanisms, particularly repeat-associated processes.

Genetic variation and gene expression across multiple tissues and developmental stages in a non-human primate

The paper generates a transcriptome resource and eQTL catalogue in vervet monkeys, revealing sex and age-related expression patterns and key regulatory loci.
