Evolution
The impact of poly-A microsatellite heterologies in meiotic recombinationMeiosis strongly influences the transmission and evolution of heterozygous poly-A repeats as measured experimentally in a large collection of single recombination products in a human hotspot.
Worldwide genetic variation of the IGHV and TRBV immune receptor gene families in humansThis article presents a comprehensive study of the IGHV and TRBV gene families in a globally diverse sample of humans and shows that the two gene families exhibit starkly different patterns of variation.
Evolution of gene expression levels in the male reproductive organs of Anopheles mosquitoesExpression patterns of transcripts in reproductive tissues reveal the phylogeny of the An. gambiae complex and are indicative of molecular function, transcription regulatory networks, and protein–protein interaction networks.
Re-annotation of eight Drosophila genomesUsing a well-annotated genome to inform the annotation of genomes in a phylogeny.
A carnivorous plant genetic map: pitcher/insect-capture QTL on a genetic linkage map of SarraceniaThis study presents the first genetic map for a carnivorous plant, mapping 64 QTLs in Sarracenia to provide the genetic basis for differences between the pitfall and lobster-trap insect-capture strategies.
Pervasive allele-specific regulation on RNA decay in hybrid miceUsing a F1 hybrid mouse system, this study globally investigates the effects of cis-regulatory divergence on RNA decay in mammals and reveals the evolutionary roles of RNA decay regulation.
