This study identifies a chimpanzee-specific retroviral insertion that influences gene regulation and brain development, highlighting its role in human-chimpanzee brain divergence.

The paper analyzes ERV segregation patterns in koalas across geographic regions, identifying contrasting polymorphism patterns among different ERV lineages and their implications for population genetics.

The paper uses snRNA-seq to analyze TBI brain tissue, finding oligodendroglia activate endogenous retroviruses, linking them to neuroinflammation.

The paper analyzes TE distribution and RIP patterns in 10 Neurospora species using nearly gapless genome assemblies, showing a correlation between TE content, genome size, and RIP signatures.

The paper identifies gsdf as a novel sex determining gene in Atlantic halibut by analyzing genome structure and recombination patterns.

This study shows that activation of endogenous retroviruses during brain development leads to neuroinflammation in adult mice.
