Abstract: Gene regulatory divergence is thought to play a central role in determining human-specific traits. However, our ability to link divergent regulation to divergent phenotypes is limited. Here, we utilized human-chimpanzee hybrid induced pluripotent stem cells… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evad055
Abstract: The world’s astounding biodiversity results from speciation, the process of formation of distinct species. Hybrids between species often have reduced fitness due to negative epistatic interactions between divergent genetic factors, as each lineage accumulated substitutions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msad034
Abstract: Abstract Cis-regulatory changes are thought to play a major role in adaptation. Threespine sticklebacks have repeatedly colonized freshwater habitats in the Northern Hemisphere, where they have evolved a suite of phenotypes that distinguish them from… read more here.
