This study identifies IRF5 and IRF6 in cartilaginous fish and shows their evolutionary conservation and functional relevance in innate immunity across jawed vertebrates.

This study identifies IRF5P1, a primate-specific pseudogene that may regulate IRF5 expression through antisense RNA interactions, suggesting a role in primate evolution and immune function.

The paper identifies a novel class of long small RNAs in Chlamydomonas that associate with AGO1 and are upregulated under nutrient deprivation.

The paper introduces ConSemble, a consensus-based ensemble method for transcriptome assembly that improves accuracy by combining multiple assemblers, outperforming individual methods in both de novo and genome-guided scenarios.
