TL;DR: High-quality genome sequence of cultivated peanut provides insights into genome evolution and the genetic mechanisms underlying seed size and leaf resistance in peanut, providing a cornerstone for functional genomics and peanut improvement.

TL;DR: Both a number of miRNAs and corresponding target genes likely playing key roles in the regulation of peanut embryo abortion under calcium deficiency were identified and provide for the first time new insights into miRNA-mediated regulatory pathways involved in peanut embryoabortion under calcium deficiencies.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors identified a pericarp-abundant promoter (AhGLP17-1P) through microarray and transcriptome analysis and validated that the AhGLP 17-1 gene was specifically expressed only in the pericharp, and no expression was detected in leaves, stem, roots, flowers, gynophore/peg, testa, and embryo in peanut.

TL;DR: In this article , small RNA sequencing profiles of brain tissues of 28 Huntington's disease (HD) patients and 83 normal controls were identified, and the editome of miRNAs in brains of HD patients was largely unknown.

TL;DR: Ks analysis to date the origin of tetraploid peanut and the divergence of the Ad (A. duranensis) and Bd (Arachis ipaensis) diploid genomes5, At and Bt (the A and B subgenomes of A. hypogaea) can distinguish recent evolutionary events such as the formation of Brassica napus ~7,500–12,500 years ago.
