DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evaa149
Abstract: Abstract Phylogenomic analyses are recovering previously hidden histories of hybridization, revealing the genomic consequences of these events on the architecture of extant genomes. We applied phylogenomic techniques and several complementary statistical tests to show that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1534/genetics.120.303335
Abstract: Reduction of fitness due to deleterious mutations imposes a limit to adaptive evolution. By characterizing features that influence this genetic load we may better understand constraints on responses to both natural and human-mediated selection. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.2298/abs190616046z
Abstract: Spermatogenesis is a fundamental process in sexual reproduction. In this study, we cloned a 716-bp cDNA of a testis-biased gene in Bombyx mori, named as BmRS-TS, which encodes a polypeptide of 164 amino acids, containing… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2018.00203
Abstract: It is well established that GC content varies across the genome in many species and that GC biased gene conversion, one form of meiotic recombination, is likely to contribute to this heterogeneity. Bird genomes provide… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.886973
Abstract: Sex differences in gene expression tend to increase with age across a variety of species, often coincident with the development of sexual dimorphism and maturational changes in hormone levels. However, because most transcriptome-wide characterizations of… read more here.
