Nuclear receptors EcR-A/RXR and HR3 control early embryogenesis in the short-germ hemimetabolous insect Blattella germanica

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: The role of steroid hormone signaling during insect post-embryonic development has been extensively characterized. However, its function during embryonic development is less understood, particularly in short-germ band hemimetabolous insects.

Addressing Evolutionary Questions with Synthetic Biology

open access: yes, 2021
Synthetic biology emerged as an engineering discipline to design and construct artificial biological systems. Synthetic biological designs aim to achieve specific biological behavior, which can be exploited for biotechnological, medical and industrial ...

FishPIE: A universal phylogenetically informative exon markers set for ray-finned fishes

open access: yesiScience, 2022
Summary: Understanding the evolutionary history of the highly diverse ray-finned fishes has been challenging, and the development of more universal primers for phylogenetic analyses may help overcoming these challenges. We developed FishPIE, a nested PCR

Fewer invited talks by women in evolutionary biology symposia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Lower visibility of female scientists, compared to male scientists, is a potential reason for the under-representation of women among senior academic ranks.

Comparative analysis of morabine grasshopper genomes reveals highly abundant transposable elements and rapidly proliferating satellite DNA repeats

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2020
Background Repetitive DNA sequences, including transposable elements (TEs) and tandemly repeated satellite DNA (satDNAs), collectively called the “repeatome”, are found in high proportion in organisms across the Tree of Life.

The Evolutionary Biology of Sex [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2006
In 1861, Charles Darwin wrote "We do not even in the least know the final cause of sexuality; why new beings should be produced by the union of the two sexual elements, instead of by a process of parthenogenesis". It was hardly possible to begin to answer this question at that time, in view of the contemporary lack of knowledge of genetics and cell ...

Neofunctionalization of ciliary BBS proteins to nuclear roles is likely a frequent innovation across eukaryotes

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: The eukaryotic BBSome is a transport complex within cilia and assembled by chaperonin-like BBS proteins. Recent work indicates nuclear functions for BBS proteins in mammals, but it is unclear how common these are in extant proteins or when they ...
