The paper compares TDP-43's transcriptional and splicing effects in muscle and neuronal cells, showing tissue-specific roles in disease.

The paper studies the molecular evolution of a recently endogenized retrovirus in mule deer, showing increased diversity through horizontal acquisition and recombination.

The paper uses unsupervised machine learning to identify three molecular subtypes in ALS cortex samples, associated with oxidative stress, retrotransposon activation, and glial activation.

The paper analyzes LGL leukemia patient genomes to detect retrovirus integration sites but finds no new retroviruses, instead identifying polymorphic HERV-K provirus sites more prevalent in LGL patients.

The paper develops a computational framework to assess the genome-wide distribution of polymorphic HERV-K in human populations using whole genome short read data and identifies population-specific variations.
