This study shows that mutating the Gn1a gene in rice increases cytokinin levels, which enhances fish growth and immunity by altering soil microbiota and gut microbial composition.

The paper identifies Pou2f3 as a master regulator of a novel intermediate cell state critical for regeneration but not organ physiology in mammary glands, challenging the idea that regeneration recapitulates development.

The paper identifies RNA viruses in water shaping shrimp and fish viromes in aquaculture, showing strong correlations and shared species between water and aquatic animals.
