This study evaluates the effects of antifreeze proteins on chicken semen cryopreservation, finding mixed results in post-thaw viability and fertility.

The paper identifies a flower bud cooling mechanism that protects tomato pollen during heatwaves and shows that the qPV11 QTL enhances this process, improving pollen viability and fruit set.

The paper identifies candidate genes for developmental colour agnosia in a family through exome sequencing and linkage analysis.

This study reanalyzes the genetic basis of hand preference using UK Biobank data, finding no support for previously reported variants but identifying a significant association with the MAP2 gene.

This study examines early life factors influencing left-handedness using UK Biobank data, finding weak heritability and significant effects of birthweight, season of birth, and other factors, but limited predictive power overall.

The paper examines gene expression asymmetry in human embryos and fetuses, finding structure-specific transcriptomic laterality that correlates with age-related changes but not consistent left-right orientation.
