A designed system to track homologous recombination (HR) in vivo demonstrates the importance of chromosome organization in the induction of global mobility in response to double-strand breaks and characterizes the role of two types of global motility in HR.

Comprehensive analyses of host genetics, root-associated microbiomes, and plant phenotypes under two nitrogen treatments reveals host genetic control of microbe abundance which, in turn, affects plant performance.

Maize genes influence which species of bacteria are recruited from the soil, especially in the absence of nitrogen supplied by fertilizer.

A novel sequencing-based method to characterize CNBP microsatellite expansions in DM2 patients demonstrates benefits for an improved dissection of DM2 genetic architecture, thus potentially ameliorating patient stratification and genetic counseling.

GENESPACE lets users track related chromosomal sequences across multiple reference genomes.

Homologous recombination rates tend to be highest in the most conserved parts of bacterial genomes.

A paternal bias in germline mutation is seen throughout amniotes and may be explained by sex differences in DNA damage and repair after primordial germ cell specification.

A genomic, climatic, agronomic, and participatory characterization of teff agrobiodiversity shows opportunities and challenges of teff improvement in the face of climate change.

Closely related type II-C Cas9 orthologs recognize diverse PAMs, which facilitates us to expand the targeting scope.

Paired analysis of gene expression and chromatin accessibility in SOX9+ lung progenitor cells identifies a requirement for PI3K in proximal-distal patterning of the mouse lung epithelium.
