RANGER-DTL 2.0: rigorous reconstruction of gene-family evolution by duplication, transfer and loss.

TL;DR: RANGER-DTL 2.0 has a particular focus on reconciliation accuracy and can account for many sources of reconciliation uncertainty including uncertain gene tree rooting, gene tree topological uncertainty, multiple optimal reconciliations and alternative event cost assignments.

SARS-CoV-2 gene content and COVID-19 mutation impact by comparing 44 Sarbecovirus genomes.

TL;DR: Comparative genomics is used to provide a high-confidence protein-coding gene set, characterize protein-level and nucleotide-level evolutionary constraint, and prioritize functional mutations from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Human Primordial Germ Cells Are Specified from Lineage-Primed Progenitors

TL;DR: It is shown that human PGC (hPGC) specification begins at day 12 post-fertilization and serves to protect hPGCLCs from crossing the Weismann’s barrier to adopt somatic cell fates and, therefore, is an essential mechanism for successfully initiating in vitro gametogenesis.

Computational analysis of noncoding RNAs

TL;DR: Computational methods to analyze noncoding RNAs include basic and advanced techniques to predict RNA structures, annotation of nonc coding RNAs in genomic data, mining RNA‐seq data for novel transcripts and prediction of transcript structures, computational aspects of microRNAs, and database resources.
