A Genetic Risk Variant Associated With the Risk of Primary Biliary Cholangitis Is Inherited From Neanderthals

open access: yesLiver International, Volume 46, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune cholangiopathy with polygenic architecture and unknown aetiology. Evidence links Neanderthal‐derived genetic variants to autoimmune conditions; however, their contribution to PBC susceptibility remains unexplored.

The miR167–ARF8 module coordinates stamen–pistil development and fruit set in tomato

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 2, Page 647-665, October 2026.
SlMIR167a is the functionally prominent SlMIR167 gene in tomato fruit development. Summary Auxin is an important regulator of reproductive development. The families of the AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) genes, important components of the auxin signal, have expanded in flowering plants.

Using archaeogenomic and computational approaches to unravel the history of local adaptation in crops [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Our understanding of the evolution of domestication has changed radically in the past 10 years, from a relatively simplistic rapid origin scenario to a protracted complex process in which plants adapted to the human environment.

Redefining awn development in rice through the breeding history of Japanese awn reduction

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
The study challenges the conventional understanding of awn loss as a domestication syndrome, showing instead that many awned varieties continued to be widely grown in Japan until the early twentieth century and that selection for awn reduction was active

Testing the ‘parasite-mediated domestication’ hypothesis: a comparative approach to the wild boar and domestic pig as model species [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ
The mechanisms underlying the domestication process have already been well explained. Starting with Belyaev’s pioneering experiment on silver foxes, which showed that selection for tameness (reduced fear response, changes in the ‘hypothalamic-pituitary ...

Beyond Deterministic Fetal Programming: Intrauterine Exposures and the Multifactorial Origins of Adiposity

open access: yesObesity Reviews, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Excess adiposity is not a recently developed problem but has existed since at least the upper Paleolithic, allowing evolutionary selection pressures to adapt the physiology of the pregnant woman and the feto‐placental unit for maternal and fetal protection.

Data from: Shifts in plant functional strategies over the course of wheat domestication

open access: yes, 2017
1. Human selection, changes in environmental conditions and management practices drove the phenotypic trajectory of crops during domestication. The characterization of the crop domestication syndrome lies mostly on reproductive characters.

Anterior Pituitary Transcriptome Suggests Differences in ACTH Release in Tame and Aggressive Foxes

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018
Domesticated species exhibit a suite of behavioral, endocrinological, and morphological changes referred to as “domestication syndrome.” These changes may include a reduction in reactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and specifically

Domestication syndrome in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz): assessing morphological traits and differentially expressed genes associated with genetic diversity of storage root.

open access: yes, 2018
Cassava ( Manihot esculenta Crantz) provides a staple food source for millions of people in tropical and subtropical world regions. Brazil is the major center of diversification for species of the Manihot , and a center for domestication of the ...

Determining the Nutritional Potential of Ancient Wheat Species: A Closer Look at Starch and Protein Digestibility, and Phenolic Acid Content

open access: yesCereal Chemistry, Volume 103, Issue 5, Page 669-680, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives The recent trend towards healthy food choices and sustainable agriculture has revived interest in underutilized wheat species such as emmer, einkorn, and spelt. Given these developments, the objective of the study was to compare the differences in chemical composition and digestibility characteristics among ...
