This study surveys the virome of migratory birds and ticks in Switzerland, detecting novel viruses and highlighting the role of birds in virus and tick dispersal.

This study shows that a bovine-derived H5N1 virus replicates efficiently in human nasal epithelial cells at both 37°C and 33°C, with specific mutations enhancing replication at lower temperatures.

The paper identifies a plant immune receptor, SCORE, that recognizes CSP peptides and shows polymorphisms across species, enabling the design of synthetic variants for broad pathogen detection.

The paper reports on a competition to predict maize yield using genetic and environmental data, showing that diverse modeling approaches can achieve good results.

The paper investigates TE-derived sRNA's potential role in gene regulation by analyzing Brachypodium distachyon's response to fungal infection.

This study examines the impact of transposable elements on DNA methylation and gene expression in Brachypodium distachyon natural accessions, finding limited methylation spreading and specific gene expression associations with TE insertions.

The paper analyzes LTR retrotransposon dynamics in Brachypodium distachyon, finding that certain families drive recent transposition and contribute to genome composition and methylation patterns.
