Heredity, 2008 This chapter reviews experimental evolution. Many of the evolutionary processes extend over long periods of time—long, that is, on human timescales of a few decades. With the resource of a laboratory, we can follow the evolution of large populations over thousands of generations in a few months.

Reaction-diffusion in a growing 3D domain of skin scales generates a discrete cellular automaton
Nature Communications, 2021 The adult ocellated lizard skin colour pattern is effectively generated by a stochastic cellular automaton (CA) of skin scales. Here authors use reaction diffusion (RD) numerical simulations in 3D on realistic lizard skin geometries and demonstrate that ...

DNA Polymerases Engineered by Directed Evolution to Incorporate Nonstandard Nucleotides
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 DNA polymerases have evolved for billions of years to accept natural nucleoside triphosphate substrates with high fidelity and to exclude closely related structures, such as the analogous ribonucleoside triphosphates. However, polymerases that can accept

Genomic architecture of adaptive radiation and hybridization in Alpine whitefish
Nature Communications, 2022 In this genomic study on Alpine whitefish radiations, the authors reveal details on the genetic architecture underlying the repeated eco-morphological diversification and the role of hybridization in the evolution of endemic whitefish species.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Pediatric patients with extracranial solid tumors (ST) receiving chemotherapy are at an increased risk for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP). However, evidence guiding prophylaxis practices in this population is limited. A PJP‐related fatality at our institution highlighted inconsistent prescribing approaches and concerns about

Sickle Cell Disease Is an Inherent Risk for Asthma in a Sibling Comparison Study
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) and asthma share a complex relationship. Although estimates vary, asthma prevalence in children with SCD is believed to be comparable to or higher than the general population. Determining whether SCD confers an increased risk for asthma remains challenging due to overlapping symptoms and the ...

Evolutionary and Expression Analyses Show Co-option of khdrbs Genes for Origin of Vertebrate Brain
Frontiers in Genetics, 2018 Genes generated by whole genome duplications (WGD) can be co-opted by changing their regulation process or altering their coding proteins, which has been shown contributable to the emergence of vertebrate morphological novelties such as vertebrate ...

Systematic errors in orthology inference and their effects on evolutionary analyses
iScience, 2021 Summary: The availability of complete sets of genes from many organisms makes it possible to identify genes unique to (or lost from) certain clades. This information is used to reconstruct phylogenetic trees; identify genes involved in the evolution of ...
