DOI: 10.1086/705037
Abstract: Maternal decisions on egg composition have major consequences for offspring. Maternal egg androgens have diverse, often contrasting, effects depending on offspring trait and life stage, suggesting that mothers face trade-offs in egg hormone transfer. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1089/bio.2022.0044
Abstract: Cryopreservation of somatic tissue has been studied as a tool for the knowledge and conservation of endangered species, such as Antillean manatees. The use of vitrification protocols is an important step in the establishment of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/gr.275354.121
Abstract: Long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are widely distributed across the human genome. They have accumulated through retroviral integration into germline DNA and are latent genetic modules. Active LTR promoters are observed in germline cells; however,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s13073-020-00740-7
Abstract: Background Endogenous retroelements (EREs) constitute about 42% of the human genome and have been implicated in common human diseases such as autoimmunity and cancer. The dominant paradigm holds that EREs are expressed in embryonic stem… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3000745
Abstract: Mutations create genetic variation for other evolutionary forces to operate on and cause numerous genetic diseases. Nevertheless, how de novo mutations arise remains poorly understood. Progress in the area is hindered by the fact that… read more here.
