The paper uses structure prediction to annotate the fold of uncharacterized proteins in medicinal leech salivary EVs, identifying one as a Ly-6/uPAR three-finger fold and leaving others unresolved.

The paper compares protease-inhibitor gene family counts across species, showing how annotation methods and counting units affect results.

The paper compares toxin gene clustering in venomous species to random genes and non-toxin families, finding higher odds of toxin clustering in four bilaterians.

The paper reports a telomere-to-telomere genome of Mojiang purple rice, identifying a rare three-copy structural allele upstream of Kala4/OsB2 and its association with pigmentation traits.
