Phenologs at knowledge-graph scale: a mouse-to-slime-mold catalog of candidate genes for thousands of human diseases

The paper identifies 61,243 phenologs between human diseases and model organism phenotypes, using a hypergeometric method to rank candidate genes and validate their predictive power.

Towards a standard benchmark for phenotype-driven variant and gene prioritisation algorithms: PhEval - Phenotypic inference Evaluation framework

PhEval provides a standardized framework to benchmark phenotype-driven variant and gene prioritisation algorithms using real-world patient data and controlled test corpora.

Post-meiotic mechanism of facultative parthenogenesis in gonochoristic whiptail lizard species.

The paper investigates facultative parthenogenesis in whiptail lizards, showing that post-meiotic mechanisms, not polar body fusion, cause genome-wide homozygosity and explains associated genetic consequences.
