Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a clinically complex and heterogenous group of visual
impairment phenotypes caused by pathogenic variants in at least 277 nuclear and …

Alternative splicing greatly expands the transcriptomic and proteomic diversities related to
physiological and developmental processes in higher eukaryotes. Splicing of long …

Here, we present a karyotype, a chromosome-scale genome assembly, and a genome
annotation from the ctenophore Hormiphora californensis (Ctenophora: Cydippida …

Coordinated spatiotemporal expression of large sets of genes is required for the
development and homeostasis of organisms. To achieve this goal, organisms use myriad …

Background Schistosoma mansoni is a flatworm that causes a neglected tropical disease
affecting millions worldwide. Most flatworms are hermaphrodites but schistosomes have …

Background Chromosome-level assemblies are indispensable for accurate gene prediction,
synteny assessment, and understanding higher-order genome architecture. Reference and …

Planarians are organisms with a unique capacity to regenerate any part of their body. New
tissues are generated in a process that requires many swift cell divisions. How costly is this …

Members of eustigmatophyte algae, especially Nannochloropsis and Microchloropsis, have
been tapped for biofuel production owing to their exceptionally high lipid content. Although …

Plastid primary endosymbiosis has occurred twice, once in the Archaeplastida ancestor and
once in the Paulinella (Rhizaria) lineage. Both events precipitated massive evolutionary …

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) play a regulatory role and influence various
biological activities, such as cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Our group has …
