DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70114
Abstract: Abstract The environment of an organism exerts selective pressures that affect mobility, feeding, reproduction as well as predator–prey and conspecific interactions. Land use changes induced by human activities modify these selective pressures and may result… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/978-3-030-34025-4_2
Abstract: In 2018, 9.6 million deaths from cancer were estimated, being this disease the second leading cause of death worldwide. Notwithstanding all the efforts developed in prevention, diagnosis and new treatment approaches, chemoresistance seems to be inevitable,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-50384-z
Abstract: Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN) arise as a complication of chemo- and/or radiotherapy. Although t-MN can occur both in adult and childhood cancer survivors, the mechanisms driving therapy-related leukemogenesis likely vary across different ages. Chemotherapy is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jxb/erw390
Abstract: C4 photosynthesis is nature's response to CO2 limitations, and evolved recurrently in several groups of plants. To identify genes related to C4 photosynthesis, Huang et al. looked for evidence of past episodes of adaptive evolution… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.16377
Abstract: Microbial communities in marine sediments are highly diverse, yet the processes that give rise to this complexity are unclear. It has been proposed that benthic microbial communities must be continuously re-seeded from the water column… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0279091
Abstract: Evolutionary history leads to genome changes over time, especially for species that have experienced intense selective pressures over a short period. Here, we investigated the genomic evolution of Bos species by searching for potential selection… read more here.
