HGTScanner: Detecting horizontal gene transfer at the fine scale using whole organelle genomes

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has profoundly shaped eukaryotic organellar genomes like plant mitochondria. Yet no generalized tools are currently available to efficiently characterize HGT across these genomes due to both high structural complexity and low sequence divergence compared to prokaryotic HGTs.

Understanding the Type 2 Immunity: An Evolving View Beyond Allergic Diseases

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Type 2 (T2) immunity is classically associated with defense against helminths and environmental threats, from a physiological perspective, and with allergies and eosinophilic inflammatory diseases, in a pathological sense. However, growing evidence reveals that T2 pathways also support other essential homeostatic functions, including tissue ...

Medical Archaeology and the Research Roads of Global Health in the Age of Eugenics

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article centers on an underexplored dimension of archaeology—the role of medicine and medical doctors in the ways archaeological excavations connected at times with early global health research and infrastructures. Its case studies focus on archaeology's role in the institutional networks, research routes, and racialized pathologies that ...

A genetic and historical perspective on the origins of keratitis fugax hereditaria

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate the genetic and genealogical background of keratitis fugax hereditaria (KFH), a periodic corneal disease caused by the heterozygous pathogenic variant c.61G>C in the NLRP3 gene. KFH is characterized by recurrent unilateral autoinflammatory attacks alternating between the eyes and permanent corneal opacities.

Tracing Identity in a Fragmented Past: Multi‐Proxy Analysis of Human Skeletal Remains From Dungowan Creek, New South Wales, Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human skeletal remains constitute critical archaeological evidence for reconstructing past societies, yet their investigation requires careful ethical, cultural, and legislative consideration. This paper reports on the discovery, recovery and analysis of a set of skeletal remains encountered during a cultural heritage management (CHM ...

Timing the Sacred: A Multi‐Step Chronological Framework for the Llullaillaco Inca Burial

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Absolute radiocarbon dating offers high precision, but its application to historical contexts, such as the Inca civilization, requires a rigorous methodological approach. This research examines methods to enhance chronological accuracy through a case study of artifacts from the Llullaillaco Capacocha sacrifice.
