This study compares the effects of high-tar and low-tar cigarette smoke on COPD airway epithelium using stem cell-derived ALI models, finding stronger responses to high-tar smoke across multiple molecular dimensions.

The paper presents 320 nearly-complete East Asian genome assemblies, revealing new genetic diversity and structural variations not present in existing global pangenomes.

OneGenome-Rice (OGR) is a genomic foundation model for rice pre-trained on 422 genomes, outperforming existing models in 11 tasks and enabling downstream applications like trait analysis and gene expression prediction.

This study analyzes rice centromeres to understand their genetic diversity and evolution, finding that structural variations and retrotransposon insertions drive centromere innovation.

This study identifies and mitigates protoplasting biases in plant scRNA-seq data, improving clustering, marker gene identification, and multi-omics integration.

The paper outlines genomic resources developed by the International Weed Genomics Consortium to improve weed control and crop breeding through insights into stress tolerance.

The paper identifies plant-derived microRNAs in human kidney transplant patients and links three miRNAs to immune rejection.

This study analyzes genome evolution in Asian rapeseed, showing divergence from European rapeseed, introgression events, and their impacts on genetic diversity and deleterious variations.

The paper constructs the third generation Zea mays haplotype map using whole genome sequencing data from 1,218 maize lines, identifying 83 million variant sites.
