This study shows that extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) acquired through grafting can be transmitted to the germline in Brassica plants, leading to heritable trait changes.

This study identifies and mitigates protoplasting biases in plant scRNA-seq data, improving clustering, marker gene identification, and multi-omics integration.

The paper benchmarks 16 circRNA detection tools across three human cell types, finding large differences in sensitivity but consistent precision, and recommends tool combinations for improved detection.
