Genetic and phenotypic variation in wood tiger moths from the Caucasus: insights into male warning color variation

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Coloration serves several fitness‐related functions, including thermoregulation, immunity, social signaling, sexual selection, and predator avoidance. Consequently, color polymorphism can have a significant impact on a species’ interactions with its environment, including its relationships with predators, prey, and potential mates. The wood tiger moth (

CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated Genome‐editing Reveals 10 Testis‐enriched Genes and One Non‐testis‐enriched Gene are Dispensable for Male Fecundity in Mice

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background More than 1000 genes have been identified as predominantly expressed in the human testis. Advances in gene editing technologies have enabled the rapid and efficient generation of genetically engineered mice. This approach facilitates the screening of genes essential for spermatogenesis by analyzing knockout mouse models.

Genetic risk factors in Finnish patients with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To study the genetic risk factors of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) in the Finnish population using hospital‐based and large biobank cohorts. Methods We genotyped a cohort of 107 Finnish patients with FECD for the primary associated genetic risk factor, the TCF4 (CTG)>50 expansion, and studied their clinical phenotype.
