Causes and consequences of bacterial local adaptation via MGEs in the plant microbiome
Summary Adaptations that enable plant‐associated bacteria to fill disparate niches comprise a critical component of microbial diversity. Genes that confer locally adaptive bacterial traits, ranging from heavy metal resistance to pathogen or symbiont infectivity, often reside within mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that can move between genomes.

ABSTRACT In this study, we explored the population genetic structure and its relation to environmental adaptations of the dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus) in the western Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Although previously two populations within the Mediterranean Sea were identified, recent evidence suggests more complex structuring.

The Self-Organization of Interaction Networks for Nature-Inspired Optimization
Over the last decade, significant progress has been made in understanding complex biological systems, however there have been few attempts at incorporating this knowledge into nature inspired optimization algorithms.

Generation of Mice Harboring Bicc1 Conditional Null Alleles
ABSTRACT Bicaudal C1 (Bicc1) encodes an RNA‐binding protein critical for many organ development and epithelial tissue homeostasis. Bicc1 null mutations have been shown to lead to the development of polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and death at an early prenatal stage.

Glia Regulate the Timing of Photoreceptor Differentiation in the Drosophila Visual System
Activation of EGFR signaling in sub‐retinal glia is required for timing photoreceptor differentiation in the Drosophila visual system. ILP3 and ILP6 are downstream targets of the EGFR pathway in sub‐retinal glia, which activate insulin signaling in photoreceptor precursor cells in the developing retina.

Insulin signalling extends lifespan across species but, in Drosophila, this effect can vary among populations. This variable response is underpinned by epistasis between mtDNA and nDNA. ABSTRACT The changing demography of human populations has motivated a search for interventions that promote healthy ageing, and especially for evolutionarily‐conserved ...

Dominance, epistasis, heritabilities and expected genetic gains [PDF]
Although epistasis is common in gene systems that determine quantitative traits, it is usually not possible to estimate the epistatic components of genotypic variance because experiments in breeding programs include only one type of progeny. As the study of this phenomenon is complex, there is a lack of theoretical knowledge on the contribution of the ...

ERAP1 Allotypes 2 and 10 Differentially Regulate the Immunopeptidome of Melanocytes
ERAP1 is an intracellular aminopeptidase that edits antigenic peptides to be presented by MHC class I molecules and is found in distinct functional allotypes in individuals. To investigate how different disease‐associated ERAP1 allotypes affect the cellular immunopeptidome, we generated A375 melanoma cell clones carrying either allotype 2 or allotype ...

Summary Calcium (Ca2+) signaling is integral to nearly all aspects of plant biology, including development and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. It operates through two main layers: the generation of Ca2+ signals and their decoding by Ca2+‐binding proteins, which act early in diverse signaling pathways. The system exhibits remarkable robustness
