Protocol for an agent-based model of recombination in bacteria playing a public goods game

STAR Protocols, 2023
Summary: Agent-based models are composed of individual agents coded for traits, such as cooperation and cheating, that interact in a virtual world based on defined rules.

Metascientific views: Challenge and opportunity for philosophy of biology in practice [PDF]

, 2017
In this paper I take evolutionary biology as an example to reflect on the role of philosophy and on the transformations that philosophy is constantly stimulated to do in its own approach when dealing with science.

Evolutionary activation of acidic chitinase in herbivores through the H128R mutation in ruminant livestock

iScience, 2023
Summary: Placental mammals' ancestors were insectivores, suggesting that modern mammals may have inherited the ability to digest insects. Acidic chitinase (Chia) is a crucial enzyme hydrolyzing significant component of insects' exoskeleton in many ...

Differential fates of Kazald gene quartet: Ancestral roles in skeletogenesis and regeneration to putative innovations in fish and birds

iScience
Summary: Gene orthology inference across species is crucial to identify gains and losses of functions. The discovery in axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) of a regeneration-associated gene identified as either Kazald1 or Kazald2 led us to investigate its ...

Genome structure and evolutionary history of frankincense producing Boswellia sacra

iScience, 2022
Summary: Boswellia sacra Flueck (family Burseraceae) tree is wounded to produce frankincense. We report its de novo assembled genome (667.8 Mb) comprising 18,564 high-confidence protein-encoding genes.

Evolution and Culture [PDF]

, 2011
The goal of cross-cultural psychology to identify and explain similarities and differences in the behavior of individuals in different cultures requires linking human behavior to its context (Cole, Meshcheryakov & Ponomariov, 2011).

Oncogenic stress alters predator-prey interactions between a globally invasive and a native planaria species

iScience
Summary: Oncogenic pressures, factors that increase tumor risk, are intensifying with human-driven environmental change, yet their ecological effects remain mainly unquantified.

Early genome erosion and internal phage-symbiont-host interaction in the endosymbionts of a cold-seep tubeworm

iScience, 2023
Summary: Endosymbiosis with chemosynthetic Gammaproteobacteria is widely recognized as an adaptive mechanism of siboglinid tubeworms, yet evolution of these endosymbionts and their driving forces remain elusive.

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.
