The impact of host development and density stress on the diversity of microbial communities in the gut and its surrounding environment of the Chinese alligator

Ecology and Evolution
The Chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis) is currently an endangered species due to a combination of factors, including climate change, anthropogenic activities, and habitat fragmentation.

Extreme-sized anurans are more prone to climate-driven extinctions

Climate Change Ecology, 2023
Understanding species responses to climatic change over extended timescales helps elucidate past and future extinction events. Amphibians are one of the most environmentally sensitive groups and yet showed high resilience to the Cretaceous-Paleogene (KPg)

An Artificially Selected Cytokinin‐Pathway Transcription Factor Balances Soybean Yield and Pathogen Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cytokinin pathway transcription factor, RR2b, was artificially selected during soybean domestication and improvement based on its differential transcriptional activity, which correlates with ATT repeat polymorphisms in its promoter. RR2b balances yield and defense by fine‐tuning its expression level and offers a promising target for decoupling trade ...

STWave: Fine‐Scale Spatial Structure Discovery in Microscopic‐Resolution Spatial Transcriptomics via Patchwise Wavelet Graphs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
STWave transforms massive microscopic‐resolution spatial transcriptomics into interpretable fine‐scale tissue maps through patch‐wise inference, wavelet‐based multi‐scale encoding, and dual‐domain reconstruction. It reduces noise while preserving weak spatial signals, enabling efficient analysis of 6 40 000 spots of 2.47 GB GPU memory and revealing ...

Using lentiviral to investigate the effect of novel candidate gene MAEL identified by RNA-seq on sex differentiation in the Chinese Alligator (Alligator sinensis)

Aquaculture Reports
The sex differentiation of Chinese alligator displays temperature-dependent sex determination, which occurs in the temperature-sensitive period (TSP) of embryonic development. Despite studies identifying genes involved in sex determination in the Chinese

Decoding Viral Transmission Dynamics in Structured Populations Using a Microfluidic Herd‐Immunity‐on‐a‐Chip Platform

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A microfluidic Herd‐Immunity‐on‐a‐Chip experimentally recreates structured contact networks to quantify viral transmission dynamics. By controlling susceptible, infected, and non‐susceptible populations, the platform reveals how contact topology governs the reproduction number, outbreak propagation, herd‐immunity–like behavior, and intervention ...
