Past, present and future of local crop evolution
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1989-2004, November 2026.Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

Biomolecular Interaction Prediction in the Pre‐ and Post‐AlphaFold Era: The 8th CAPRI Evaluation
Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 11, Page 1813-1826, November 2026.ABSTRACT We report on the 8th CAPRI Evaluation period, capturing the assessment of CAPRI Rounds 47 to 55 (excluding the CASP and COVID‐related Rounds), which have witnessed the transition to AI‐driven prediction tools such as AlphaFold and related alternatives. The prediction Rounds in this evaluation are characterized by a high level of difficulty due

VIEW Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 1, November 2026.ABSTRACT The human gut microbiota is highly diverse and widely distributed throughout the gastrointestinal tract, playing an important role in immune homeostasis. With advances in microbiome research, the concept of the “gut–thyroid axis” has emerged to describe a potential bidirectional relationship between gut microbiota and thyroid function ...

Variation in Disease Susceptibility Is Associated With Immunogenetics in a Threatened Amphibian
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 11, November 2026.ABSTRACT Emerging infectious diseases affect wildlife populations around the world, making effective conservation strategies essential to the long‐term persistence of threatened species. Understanding the drivers of protective host responses to pathogens can help guide conservation efforts. Species that vary intraspecifically in their susceptibility to

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 11, November 2026.ABSTRACT Small, threatened populations often suffer from a limited gene pool, which increases inbreeding and reduces their adaptability. We investigated the phenotypic and genomic effects of hybridization (resulting from backcrossing) on the critically endangered Lake Saimaa landlocked salmon, Salmo salar m. sebago, focusing on a particularly sensitive
