The afterlife of a horizontally transferred gene: Expansion and functional diversification of a C1A peptidase in wild Hordeum species

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) can accelerate plant adaptation, but the evolutionary fate of newly acquired nuclear genes is often unclear. Here, we analyzed a papain‐like cysteine peptidase horizontally transferred from Panicoideae to wild Hordeum (Poaceae). Using chromosome‐level assemblies of 21 diploid Hordeum species, we assessed presence/

Genomic and evolutionary analysis reveals dynamic variations of MKK3 gene, a key regulator for seed dormancy in barley

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important crop in the world, and its seed dormancy is primarily controlled by a mitogen‐activated protein kinase kinase 3 (MKK3) gene. Although kinase activity of MKK3 and its roles in barley post‐domestication have been widely studied, the pre‐domestication evolution of MKK3 and the spread of nondormant ...

Molecular Epidemiology of Peste des Petits Ruminants Virus Circulating in Fat‐Tailed Sheep in Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study reports the molecular detection and genetic characterization of peste des petits ruminants virus in fat‐tailed sheep in Bangladesh. Phylogenetic analysis reveals transboundary lineage circulation, highlighting silent virus movement during high‐risk livestock trading periods and the need for strengthened regional surveillance.

Genetic Characterisation and Risk Factors Associated With Capripoxvirus Outbreaks Among Small Ruminants in Uganda, 2021–2022

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Sheeppox and goatpox are systemic, contagious viral diseases of small ruminants caused by sheep and goat pox viruses of the genus capripoxvirus. These diseases cause fever, generalised skin lesions and negatively affect health, economics and welfare.

Feathers and flu: identifying data gaps in avian influenza host dynamics to prioritize wildlife conservation Plumas y gripe: identificación de datos faltantes en la dinámica de hospedadores de la influenza aviar para priorizar la conservación de la vida silvestre

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 225, Issue 1, September 2026.
We describe the host response continuum for highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV), including the continuum of host responses to HPAIV infection and exposure based on the primary axis of host competence, ability to infect other hosts, and host vulnerability.

Source‐Independent Enrichment of Light Lanthanides: Microbial Mobilization, Selective Uptake, and Intracellular Storage

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2026.
Only light lanthanides facilitate lanthanide‐dependent methylotrophy. In Beijerinckiaceae bacterium RH AL1, light lanthanides are enriched from diverse sources, including poorly soluble minerals, through a multilayered process involving mobilisation, selective uptake, and intracellular periplasmic storage.

Adaptive Diversification of the Mstnb Locus Drives Genomic Architecture of Growth in Thai Clariid Catfish

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The production of clariid catfish in Thai aquaculture depends on culture of the native species (Clarias macrocephalus and C. batrachus) and introduced African catfish (C. gariepinus). Particularly, hybridization with C. gariepinus has improved productivity but raised significant conservation concerns.

History of sexually transmitted infections among mpox cases in the 2022 outbreak in Spain

HIV Medicine, Volume 27, Issue 9, Page 1490-1502, September 2026.
Abstract Objective The aim was to describe the history of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among adult mpox men cases and to analyse sociodemographic and epidemiological characteristics according to the presence or absence of any STI diagnosed 1 or 6 months previous to mpox diagnosis during the 2022 outbreak in Spain.
