Elements of divergence in germline determination in closely related species
iScience, 2023 Summary: Evolutionary transitions are particularly important in development of the germ line, cells which directly impact sexual reproduction. Differences in the primordial germ cells (PGCs) of two sea urchin species were examined here by stage-matched ...

Puzzles in modern biology. II. Language, cancer and the recursive processes of evolutionary innovation [PDF]
F1000Research 5:2089 (2016), 2016 Human language emerged abruptly. Diverse body forms evolved suddenly. Seed-bearing plants spread rapidly. How do complex evolutionary innovations arise so quickly? Resolving alternative claims remains difficult. The great events of the past happened a long time ago. Cancer provides a model to study evolutionary innovation.

A synthetic biology approach for the design of genetic algorithms with bacterial agents [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Bacteria have been a source of inspiration for the design of evolutionary algorithms. At the beginning of the 20th century synthetic biology was born, a discipline whose goal is the design of biological systems that do not exist in nature, for example, programmable synthetic bacteria.

Directions in Evolutionary Biology [PDF]
Annual Review of Genetics, 2002 [Figure: see text] ▪ Abstract In order to understand both the past and future directions of research in evolutionary biology we need to begin by understanding in what way these programs of research differ from the model of most scientific work. The study of evolutionary processes and, in particular, the genetics of the evolutionary process must ...

Towards a quantum evolutionary scheme: violating Bell's inequalities in language [PDF]
In N. Gontier, J. P. Van Bendegem and D. Aerts (Eds.),
Evolutionary Epistemology, Language and Culture. Dordrecht: Springer (2005)., 2004 We show the presence of genuine quantum structures in human language. The neo-Darwinian evolutionary scheme is founded on a probability structure that satisfies the Kolmogorovian axioms, and as a consequence cannot incorporate quantum-like evolutionary change.

iScience, 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.

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 Hirundo is the most species-rich genus of the passerine swallow family (Hirundinidae) and has a cosmopolitan distribution. Here we report the complete, annotated mitochondrial genomes for 25 individuals from 10 of the 14 extant Hirundo species; these ...

The persistent homology of mitochondrial ATP synthases
iScience, 2023 Summary: Relatively little is known about ATP synthase structure in protists, and the investigated ones exhibit divergent structures distinct from yeast or animals.

iScience, 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 ...
