The paper identifies PPRD1 and DAPX1 as key components of the deamination-editing machinery in Diplonema papillatum, showing their role in C-to-U and A-to-I RNA editing across multiple sites.

Eukan is a genome annotation pipeline that improves accuracy for diverse eukaryotes by integrating RNA-Seq data and consensus modeling, outperforming existing tools in challenging genomes.

The paper presents chromosome-scale genome assemblies of Acanthamoeba castellanii and shows infection-induced chromatin reorganization during Legionella pneumophila infection.

The paper assembles and annotates mitochondrial genomes of Coccidioides immitis and C. posadasii, and assesses population variation across 77 genomes, identifying common genes and introns.
