The paper identifies ductal myofibroblasts as critical for maintaining alveolar structure during lung regeneration through reactivation of a contractile program.

This study identifies an amino acid reabsorption mechanism in Drosophila Malpighian tubules that maintains systemic amino acid homeostasis despite their primary role in secretion.

The paper identifies truncated radial glia (tRG) as a conserved progenitor subtype in ferret and human corticogenesis, showing their role in brain expansion.

The paper presents a single-cell transcriptome atlas of Drosophila gastrulae, identifying 65 clusters and revealing spatial gene expression patterns across germ layers.

The paper identifies a shared supergene involved in sex chromosome turnover across three Takifugu species, showing repeated translocations of this supergene as the mechanism for sex determination locus changes.

This study presents de novo chromosome-scale genome assemblies for cynomolgus macaque and common marmoset using long-read and Hi-C data, achieving high contiguity and accuracy.

The paper reconstructs a high-coverage coding gene set for the inshore hagfish Eptatretus burgeri using genome sequencing and RNA-seq data.

This study benchmarks Hi-C methods for chromosome-scale genome scaffolding, identifying key factors that improve scaffolding quality and introduces a new protocol.

This paper introduces a neural network-based classifier for gene regulatory sequences, improves prediction accuracy, and provides visualization tools for understanding regulatory code.
