This study evaluates the neutralizing antibody response induced by XEC-based monovalent vaccines against multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants, showing enhanced immunity against JN.1 subvariants compared to other variants.

This study identifies the non-spike R204P mutation in the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron XEC variant as a driver of increased inflammation and pathogenicity through NF-κB activation.

This paper introduces CoVFit, a protein language model that predicts SARS-CoV-2 variant fitness using spike protein sequences, identifying fitness-enhancing mutations and predicting emerging variants.

This study reconstructs the phylogeny of fleshy-fruited Sonerileae, revealing polyphyly and redefining Medinilla to include Pachycentria and Plethiandra.

The paper introduces a pangenome analysis pipeline (PSVCP) for rice that improves functional gene identification by capturing structural variations and provides insights into genomic diversity and trait associations.

This paper presents a high-quality genome assembly for Lactarius hatsudake JH5 using Illumina and PacBio sequencing, improving upon previous assemblies and enabling further research on its genetics and cultivation.
