Common and unique strategies of myoglobin evolution for deep-sea adaptation of diving mammals
iScience, 2021 Summary: Myoglobin (Mb) is highly concentrated in the myocytes of diving mammals such as whales and seals, in comparison with land animals, and its molecular evolution has played a crucial role in their deep-sea adaptation.

Opposing effects of plant traits on diversification
iScience, 2023 Summary: Species diversity can vary dramatically across lineages due to differences in speciation and extinction rates. Here, we explore the effects of several plant traits on diversification, finding that most traits have opposing effects on ...

A de novo evolved gene in the house mouse regulates female pregnancy cycles
eLife, 2019 The de novo emergence of new genes has been well documented through genomic analyses. However, a functional analysis, especially of very young protein-coding genes, is still largely lacking.
