Genomic insights into the human gut commensal Megasphaera elsdenii: Relatedness and metabolic potential compared to animal isolates

This study compares Megasphaera elsdenii genomes from human and animal gut isolates, finding they are genetically similar and share metabolic functions, with no host-specific clustering or virulence genes.

Psoriasis risk allele function in activated Th1/17 cells with "memory" to antigen exposure

The paper identifies a psoriasis risk allele that affects gene regulation specifically in memory Th1/Th17 cells, linking it to increased T cell activation during infection.

Bifidobacterium- and Escherichia-dominant ecological guilds shape distinct microbial metabolism in the gut microbiome of tuberculosis patients

This study identifies two ecological guilds in the gut microbiome of tuberculosis patients that exhibit distinct metabolic profiles linked to disease.

Long-range regulatory effects of Neandertal DNA in modern humans

This study identifies Neandertal DNA's long-range regulatory effects on gene expression in modern humans, showing their influence on immune traits, schizophrenia, and other phenotypes.

Prioritising Autoimmunity Risk Variants for Functional Analyses by Fine-Mapping Mutations Under Natural Selection

The paper identifies candidate SNPs under natural selection in autoimmune disorder risk loci and shows they colocalize with selected variants, suggesting functional relevance and implications for autoimmunity.

Improved Apis mellifera reference genome based on the alternative long-read-based assemblies

The paper improves the Apis mellifera reference genome by resolving gaps and telomeres using long-read assemblies, enhancing its accuracy for genomic studies.
