Alignment-free pan-k-mer profiles track minimap2 similarity (whole-chromosome r^2 0.959-0.968), profile 605 vertebrate genomes in about a day on 40 cores, and nominate trait-linked loci across plants and animals.

This study uses untargeted sequencing to analyze population genetics and pathogen surveillance in timber rattlesnakes, finding genetic distinctness and a color variation locus linked to ALDH4A1.

The paper measures mRNA and protein levels in single cells for synthetic promoters, finding that promoter strength affects both transcription and translation, and introduces a framework for comparing gene regulation.

This paper evaluates the accuracy of identifying mRNA transcript start and end sites from long-read sequencing data and introduces a method to improve terminal end identification.
