Genetic analysis and knockout mouse model study identified calcyphosine-like (CAPSL) as a candidate disease gene in familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR), offering valuable insights into disease mechanisms.

Early moderate consumption of alcohol in pregnancy was sufficient to disrupt the fetal epigenome in newborn mice, and high folate maternal diets had a mitigating effect.

Proteins evolve more intrinsic structural disorder under more effective selection, with selection assessed via a novel metric of codon adaptation.

To maintain genomic integrity during oocyte development, the tumor suppressor BRCA1/BRC-1 and the SMC-5/6 complex both repress intersister crossover recombination events while BRCA1/BRC-1 also specifically inhibits error prone repair of DNA breaks during meiotic prophase I.

A comprehensive description of gene expression and organisation in the cells that constitute the blood fluke larvae responsible for finding and invading its intermediate host.

Klebsiella pneumoniae has specific repertoires of genes required for growth in urine and serum, highlighting new targets for antimicrobial treatments of this important pathogen.

Changes in the amount and timing of gene expression during early development contribute to evolutionary divergence and life-history changes, even within a species.

Epigenetic signature of maternal smoking contributes to smaller body size and lower birth weight in newborns of European and South Asian ancestry.

Whole-transcriptomic profiling of circulating small extracellular vesicle RNA facilitates the detection of T1a stage colorectal cancer and precancerous advanced adenoma.
