DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2216526119
Abstract: By modifying environmental conditions, human activities are generating novel selection pressures, which pose challenges to wildlife (1–3). When faced with novel selection pressures, organismal populations can respond to this through evolutionary adaptation, modifying their phenotype… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evab097
Abstract: Abstract Protein coding genes can contain specific motifs within their nucleotide sequence that function as a signal for various biological pathways. The presence of such sequence motifs within a gene can have beneficial or detrimental… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msx127
Abstract: Abstract Inversions are a major contributor to structural genome evolution in prokaryotes. Here, using a novel alignment-based method, we systematically compare 1,651 bacterial and 98 archaeal genomes to show that inversion landscapes are frequently biased… read more here.

Abstract: Dollar spot, caused by Sclerotinia homoeocarpa, is one of the most significant diseases of cool-season turfgrass on golf courses. Resistance to the benzimidazole, dicarboximide, and succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) classes and reduced sensitivity to the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.939394
Abstract: We systematically examine the receptor repertoire in T cell subsets in young, adult, and LCMV-infected mice. Somatic recombination generates diversity, resulting in the limited overlap between nucleotide sequences of different repertoires even within the same… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2021.816675
Abstract: Cockroaches are important global urban pests from aesthetic and health perspectives. Insecticides represent the most cost-effective way to control cockroaches and limit their impacts on human health. However, cockroaches readily develop insecticide resistance, which can… read more here.
