MITScan performs genome-wide association analysis between microbiome and host transcriptome using zero-inflated negative binomial models, achieving computational efficiency with score tests and permutation methods.

The paper identifies a glutamatergic signaling network involving GRM5, GCPII, and GRM3 as a genetic mediator of daily sleep patterns through QTL mapping in mice.

The paper characterizes hepatic lentiviral vector transduction in mice, finding strain-specific variations and QTLs linked to transduction efficiency and kinetics, suggesting the need for personalized gene therapy protocols.

SmProt provides a comprehensive and reliable repository of small proteins identified from ribosome profiling, including curated data from multiple species and sources.

The paper shows that active retrotransposons produce siRNAs that maintain pericentromeric heterochromatin, ensuring stable genetic inheritance in Drosophila cells.
