DOI: 10.1007/s10592-019-01179-z
Abstract: Although hybridization can be used as a tool for genetic rescue, it can also generate outbreeding depression and reduce local adaptation. Improved understanding of these processes is required to better inform conservation decisions for threatened… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41576-019-0139-x
Abstract: Somatic mutations occur spontaneously in normal individuals and accumulate throughout life. These genetic modifications contribute to progressive ageing phenotypes and are directly involved in cancer development. However, a growing number of studies of Mendelian haematopoietic… read more here.
