Nature Reviews Genetics, Published online: 28 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41576-026-00981-zIn this Comment, Patricia Wittkopp revisits assumptions that cis-regulatory mutations are weakly pleiotropic, ultimately calling for more data to assess the extent to which they are less pleiotropic and deleterious than trans-regulatory mutations.

Berlin (dpo) - Das meist von Mäusen übertragene Hantavirus sorgt derzeit weltweit für Angst. Um Deutschland virensicher zu machen, hat sich die Bundes

Abstract. IQ-TREE (https://iqtree.github.io/) is a widely used open-source software tool for efficiently inferring phylogenetic trees under maximum likelih

The Bioinformatics Division of the Institute of Biological and Geosciences (IBG-4) processes and develops methods and algorithms to achieve a fundamental understanding of high-dimensional data and pro...

Inflorescences of flowering plants adopt diverse genetically programmed and environmentally tuned architectures. By contrast, continued maintenance of the stem-cell pool within the apical meristem is ...

De novo domestication was performed on the brassica Thlaspi arvense (pennycress) by identifying and stacking CRISPR-induced mutations to create a new intermediate oilseed crop that can be grown in the...

Spatially resolved gene expression during barley development was done by integrating an scRNA-seq dataset from cells with unknown position with spatial transcriptomics. This dataset is publicly availa...

The new rules will make the EU food system more secure and sustainable, with climate- and pest-resistant plants that give higher yields and require fewer fertilisers and pesticides.

Für viele gentechnisch veränderte Lebensmittel soll es künftig keine Hinweispflicht mehr in Supermärkten geben. Darauf einigten sich Vertreter aus dem Europaparlament und dem Rat der EU-Länder.

By leveraging both deep learning and hidden Markov models, Helixer achieves broad taxonomic coverage for ab initio gene annotation of eukaryotic genomes from fungi, plants, vertebrates and invertebrat...

Bilateral floral symmetry is a repeated evolutionary innovation governed by the CYCLOIDEA-dependent program, yet how the dorsal-specific CYC expression is initiated and maintained remains elusive. Min...

The genome of Arabidopsis thaliana consists of 10 chromosomes. By inducing CRISPR-Cas–mediated breaks at subcentromeric and subtelomeric sequences, we fused entire chromosome arms, obtaining two eight...

This EMBO Workshop explores the gene-regulatory mechanisms that drive developmental reprogramming upon fertilization. It focuses on the interplay of transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and develop…

Preprint servers are a low-cost mechanism for providing free access to research findings, and can also significantly accelerate research itself by making results available immediately. This Perspectiv...
