Hookworm genes encoding intestinal excreted-secreted proteins are transcriptionally upregulated in response to the host's immune system

The paper identifies hookworm genes upregulated by the host immune system, focusing on intestinal-expressed genes in A. ceylanicum and their potential roles in immune evasion.

HpBoRB, a helminth-derived CCP domain protein which binds RELMβ

The paper identifies a helminth-derived CCP domain protein, HpBoRB, that binds RELMβ, a host protein with anti-helminth properties, suggesting a mechanism of immune evasion.

Genomes of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema hermaphroditum and its associated bacteria

The paper presents the genome of Steinernema hermaphroditum and its associated bacteria, revealing gene clusters and a potential second bacterial circle in entomopathogenic nematodes.

CGC1, a new reference genome for Caenorhabditis elegans

The paper presents a new gap-free, telomere-to-telomere reference genome for C. elegans, CGC1, improving upon previous assemblies and providing a more complete genome.

The transcription factor ATML1 maintains giant cell identity by inducing synthesis of its own (very) long-chain fatty acid-containing ligands

The paper shows that high ATML1 concentrations induce VLCFA synthesis, which maintains giant cell identity by promoting auto-activation through lipid ligand binding.

Transcriptomic profiling of sex-specific olfactory neurons reveals subset-specific receptor expression in C. elegans

The paper identifies sex-specific receptor expression in C. elegans olfactory neurons and shows their non-redundant role in ascr#8 sensing.

Genomic analyses of two Italian oyster mushroom Pleurotus pulmonarius strains

This study assembled and compared the genomes of two Pleurotus pulmonarius strains to explore their carnivorous behavior and genomic differences.

Genome sequence of the oyster mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus strain PC9

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly of the oyster mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus strain PC9 using PacBio and Illumina sequencing, improving upon its previously fragmentary genome.
