Integration of evolutionary dynamics framed through a mathematical model improved outcomes in abiraterone monotherapy for the treatment of metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer.

The dominant MRSA circulating in European livestock has stably maintained genes associated with resistance to antibiotic treatments over several decades and when it is transmitted to humans it can rapidly acquire genes that allow it to evade human immune responses.

Ancestral reconstruction of a signaling pathway reveals the mutations responsible for producing specificity of the two paralogous pathways produced by a duplication event.

Selection acting on SARS-CoV-2 variants altering the infectivity profile depends on levels of transmission in the community, and this dependence is used to infer Alpha and Delta variants infectivity profiles.

Metabolomics data reveals unique metabolic insights into how cavefish adapt to nutrient limited environments while staying healthy.

Some deleterious mutations co-occurring within a genome can compensate each other, and this affects patterns of polymorphism, particularly in highly polymorphic species.

A new ethologically relevant model for investigating the neurobiology of solitary, asocial behavior in the blind mole rat.

New morphological data of a primitive placoderm fish demonstrate both high regionalization of squamation and the bipartite histological structure of scale are plesiomorphic for jawed vertebrates.

Salamanders originate as metamorphosed with a biphasic lifestyle as shown by the palate shape and several non-shape features associated with the vomerine teeth, with diverse ecological types displayed in living species achieved in the Early Cretaceous.

Genome editing in a close unicellular relative of animals suggests a premetazoan function of the Hippo pathway effector YAP/TAZ/Yorkie in the regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics and multicellular morphogenesis but not proliferation.
