Spatial Transcriptomics Reveals Expression Gradients in Developing Wheat Inflorescences at Cellular Resolution

This study uses spatial transcriptomics to analyze gene expression gradients in wheat inflorescences, revealing dynamic spatio-temporal organization along the apical-basal axis.

Trans-generational adaptation to maternal climate through hormone transport in plants

The paper shows that plant progeny inherit maternal climate adaptation through hormone transport, specifically via temperature-dependent ABA signaling during seed development.

Whole genome sequencing reveals how plasticity and genetic differentiation underlie sympatric morphs of Arctic charr

The paper uses whole genome sequencing to analyze genetic differentiation and plasticity in sympatric morphs of Arctic charr across multiple lakes, revealing a polygenic basis and varying levels of reproductive isolation.

Most human DNA replication initiation is dispersed throughout the genome with only a minority within previously identified initiation zones

The paper uses single-molecule sequencing to show most DNA replication initiation in human cells occurs at dispersed sites, not just previously identified zones.

High-quality genome assembly for the genetically improved Abbassa Nile tilapia enables the reconstruction of X and Y haplotypes

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly for the GIANT Nile tilapia strain, enabling the reconstruction of X and Y haplotypes and identifying sex determination loci on LG23.
