Metagenomic prediction of methane emissions in sheep using single- and multi-matrix BLUP models with taxonomic and functional microbial features

This study compares metagenomic pipelines for predicting methane emissions in sheep using functional and taxonomic features, finding COG-based functional features provide the highest accuracy.

Short communication: Oral microbiome as a potential proxy for grazing livestock methane emissions

This study investigates whether oral microbiome profiles can serve as a non-invasive proxy for estimating methane emissions in grazing cattle, finding that microbial function explains a meaningful proportion of methane variation.

Transposable Element Expression and Sub-cellular Dynamics During hPSC Differentiation to Endoderm, Mesoderm, and Ectoderm Lineages

This study examines TE expression and sub-cellular dynamics during hPSC differentiation to endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm lineages, revealing lineage-specific TE expression patterns and chromatin associations.

Human embryos arrest in a quiescent-like state characterized by metabolic and zygotic genome activation problems

This study identifies a quiescent-like state in arrested IVF embryos and shows that modulating metabolic pathways can rescue the arrest.

Unveiling transposable element expression heterogeneity in cell fate regulation at the single-cell level

The paper develops a single-cell TE analysis pipeline, scTE, and shows TEs are dynamically expressed in various cell states and can be used for cell type discrimination.

Transposable Element-Gene Splicing Modulates the Transcriptional Landscape of Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

This study shows that transposable elements contribute to the transcriptome of human pluripotent stem cells by being spliced into coding and non-coding transcripts, affecting gene expression and generating novel peptides.
