The publication and citation gender gap in Biology: bibliometric analysis of Biology faculty at top United States universities

This study analyzes the gender gap in publication and citation rates among Biology faculty at top U.S. universities, finding women publish less and are less cited but take similar time to reach Professor rank.

Comparative genomic analyses shed light on the introduction routes of rice-pathogenic Burkholderia gladioli strains into Bangladesh

The paper uses genomic analysis to trace the introduction routes of pathogenic B. gladioli strains into Bangladesh and identifies virulence gene changes associated with host transitions.

The Codon Statistics Database: a Database of Codon Usage Bias

The paper introduces a database containing codon usage statistics for species with reference genomes, allowing users to search for codon frequencies, gene-specific metrics, and taxonomic comparisons.

The last missing piece of the Triangle of U: the evolution of the tetraploid Brassica carinata genome

This study completes the Triangle of U by sequencing the genome of Brassica carinata, revealing genomic features and gene family expansions linked to its agronomic traits.
