Integrative utilization of genomic resources for improved phylogenetic resolution in Sonerileae (Melastomataceae)

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Advances in new next‐generation sequencing (NGS) methods have revolutionized phylogenetics, yet challenges remain in effectively utilizing data from a wide range of sources. A well‐resolved and broadly sampled phylogeny for Sonerileae, the second‐largest tribe in Melastomataceae, is still lacking, hindering our understanding of its ...

Pollination by long‐proboscid horseflies and its implications for reproductive isolation among coflowering Satyrium orchids in South Africa

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Floral adaptations to pollinators can drive lineage diversification and promote coexistence of species. We investigated the reproductive biology of Satyrium longicolle, a South African orchid that we hypothesized to belong to a long‐proboscid horsefly pollination guild and examined overlap of pollinators and floral traits among ...

Smart and sustainable: collecting urban transport and mobility innovation in the 2020s

Science Museum Group Journal, 2022
How can museums collect transport objects to reflect the changes that we can see happening on the streets around us today? Much of what is changing relates to behaviour and integrated transport systems, both of which lack material ‘objects’ to collect ...

The Diagnosis That Arrived Decades Late: Living Without and Then With Myhre Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myhre syndrome (MIM #139210) is a rare multisystem disorder first described in 1981, characterized by short stature, neurodevelopmental delay, joint contractures, and cardiopulmonary complications. Its molecular basis, recurrent pathogenic variants in SMAD4, was not discovered until 2011. This narrative is based on a review of medical records,

Expanded application to plant reproductive tissues of a branched DNA probe‐based in situ hybridization method

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Detecting clear tissue‐ and organ‐specific patterns of gene expression is key to understanding the genetic mechanisms that control plant development. In situ hybridization (ISH) of mRNA is one of the most precise, yet most challenging approaches to gene expression assays.
