A proximity biotinylation approach for the identification of membrane contact site proteins in Toxoplasma gondii
Scientific focus: metabolism, structural biology, computational. Core claim (from abstract): Yet, little is known about the makeup or function of their MCSs, leaving a gap in our understanding of how organelles communicate beyond conventional model eukaryotes. Dysfunction linkage: disease context. Lower priority within the current window unless the topic matches a narrow research focus.

FIDDL: depth-matched negative controls distinguish genuine interspecific introgression from competitive-mapping artifact
Scientific focus: redox biology. Core claim (from abstract): Using strains that cannot contain the ancestry being detected, we show this design generates substantial false-positive signal through two mechanisms with opposite phylogenetic-distance signatures. Dysfunction linkage: not strongly labeled in the abstract. Lower priority within the current window unless the topic matches a narrow research focus.
