Speciation and hybridization in invasive fire ants
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019 Background A major focus of evolutionary biology is the formation of reproductive barriers leading to divergence and ultimately, speciation. Often, it is not clear whether the separation of populations is complete or if there still is ongoing gene flow ...

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.

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The delipid extracorporeal lipoprotein filter from plasma (DELP) treatment can effectively reduce blood lipid, increase blood flow, and improve neurological deficits in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, its effect on vision and retinal microcirculation in stroke patients has never been reported.

Exploring lipid diversity and minimalism to define membrane requirements for synthetic cells
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Designing the lipid membrane of synthetic cells is a complex task, in which its various roles (among them solute transport, membrane protein support, and self‐replication) should all be integrated. In this review, we report the latest top‐down and bottom‐up advances and discuss compatibility and complexity issues of current engineering approaches ...

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 ...
