A transcriptome constructed from short-read RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is an easily
attainable proxy catalog of protein-coding genes when genome assembly is unnecessary …

Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is an unusual RNA agent that replicates using host machinery
but exploits hepatitis B virus (HBV) to mobilize its spread within and between hosts. In doing …

Long-read sequencing technologies have improved significantly since their emergence.
Their read lengths, potentially spanning entire transcripts, is advantageous for …

Long-read single-cell transcriptomics (scRNA-Seq) is revolutionizing the way we profile
heterogeneity in disease. Traditional short-read scRNA-Seq methods are limited in their …

Locusts depend upon their sense of smell and provide useful models for understanding
olfaction. Extending this understanding requires knowledge of the molecular and structural …

Frugivory evolved multiple times in mammals, including bats. However, the cellular and
molecular components driving it remain largely unknown. Here, we use integrative single …

Background C4 photosynthesis is a mechanism that plants have evolved to reduce the rate
of photorespiration during the carbon fixation process. The C4 pathway allows plants to …

Abstract Background The New World leaf-nosed bats (Phyllostomids) exhibit a diverse
spectrum of feeding habits and innovations in their nutrient acquisition and foraging …

Background Sharply increased beef consumption is propelling the genetic improvement
projects of beef cattle in China. Three-dimensional genome structure is confirmed to be an …

Copepods of the zooplankton genus Calanus play a key role in marine ecosystems in the
northern seas. Although being among the most studied organisms on Earth, due to their …
