Sex-biased gene expression is repeatedly masculinized in asexual females
Nature Communications, 2019 Evolution of optimal gene expression in females is expected to be constrained by sexually-antagonistic selection on males. Here, Parker and colleagues show that gene expression has in fact become masculinized in female stick insects across five ...

FastTree: Computing Large Minimum Evolution Trees with Profiles instead of a Distance Matrix
Molecular biology and evolution, 2009 Gene families are growing rapidly, but standard methods for inferring phylogenies do not scale to alignments with over 10,000 sequences. We present FastTree, a method for constructing large phylogenies and for estimating their reliability.

Scientific Reports, 2023 Recent biologging technology reveals hidden life and breeding strategies of nocturnal animals. Combining animal movement patterns with individual characteristics and landscape features can uncover meaningful behaviours that directly influence fitness ...

BMC Bioinformatics, 2019 Background High-throughput amplicon sequencing of environmental DNA (eDNA metabarcoding) has become a routine tool for biodiversity survey and ecological studies. By including sample-specific tags in the primers prior PCR amplification, it is possible to

The Evolution Concept: The Concept Evolution [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2017 This is an epistemologically-driven history of the concept of evolution. Starting from its inception, this work will follow the development of this pregnant concept. However, in contradistinction to previous attempts, the objective will not be the identification of the different meanings it adopted through history, but conversely, it will let the ...

Parasites & Vectors, 2017 Background Increasing temperatures are predicted to strongly impact host-parasite interactions, but empirical tests are rare. Host species that are naturally exposed to a broad temperature spectrum offer the possibility to investigate the effects of ...

Intratumor heterogeneity and branched evolution revealed by multiregion sequencing.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2012 BACKGROUND Intratumor heterogeneity may foster tumor evolution and adaptation and hinder personalized-medicine strategies that depend on results from single tumor-biopsy samples.

Model evolution and system evolution
Journal of Computer Science and Technology, 2000 In this paper we define an evolution mechanism with formal semantics using the metamodeling methodology [Geisler et al.98] based on dynamic logic. A remarkable feature of the metamodeling methodology is the ability to define the relation of intentional and extensional entities within one level, allowing not only for the description of structural ...

Repeated loss of function at HD mating-type genes and of recombination in anther-smut fungi
Nature CommunicationsBasidiomycete fungi typically have two mating-type loci controlling mating compatibility, HD and PR, residing on different chromosomes. Loss-of-function in mating compatibility has been reported at the PR genes in a few heterothallic basidiomycetes, but ...

Elusive data underlying debate at the prokaryote-eukaryote divide
Biology Direct, 2018 Background The origin of eukaryotic cells was an important transition in evolution. The factors underlying the origin and evolutionary success of the eukaryote lineage are still discussed.
