Structural variants underlie parallel adaptation following global invasion

This study identifies large structural variants as drivers of parallel adaptation in Trifolium repens during global invasion.

Evolution of drought resistance strategies following the introduction of white clover (Trifolium repens L.)

This study compares drought resistance strategies in native and introduced white clover populations, finding introduced populations better at avoiding dehydration but worse at tolerating it.

Linkage blocks involving multiple replicons organize Borrelia burgdorferi strain variation and influence virulence in Lyme disease

This study uses long-read assemblies to show that genetic modules across multiple plasmids organize Borrelia burgdorferi strain variation and influence virulence in Lyme disease.

Enhancing reproducibility and decentralization in single cell research with biocytometry

This study evaluates biocytometry's performance in a decentralized setting, showing its ability to accurately count rare cells across multiple labs with minimal training.
