‪A head and a hundred tails: how can remarkable branching worm manage reproduction?

Researchers investigated gene expression patterns. What happens at a molecular level as independent reproductive units known as stolons form at the tip of the worm’s tails – before sprouting eyes and swimming free? https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html?id=7801

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies uncovers shared candidate genes across breeds for pig fatness trait

Here's another #newpublication that uses the #geneontology to investigate the fatness trait in pigs! Zeng et al. used #GO (and #KEGG) after meta-#GWAS and identified two genes previously reported in #human but not pigs that may be implicated in fat deposition. What are they?
