Social hierarchies resulting from the European colonization of the Americas stratified the population structure, leading to ancestry-related assortative mating and sex bias patterns that can be inferred from the genomes of the populations across the continent.

A comparison between artificially created allopolyploids and natural ones reveals that the latter underwent significant evolutionary steps after their formation.

Elevated levels of ectopic fat and a decreased number of oxidative insulin-sensitive type I muscle fibers in skeletal muscle could lead to insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Signaling through nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in enterocytes impacts barrier integrity in the Drosophila intestine by regulating formation of the peritrophic matrix.

The application of real-time genomics by long-read nanopore sequencing to environmental samples creates a new trajectory for non-invasive genomics-based monitoring of critically endangered wildlife.

Leveraging the X-LD method for estimating inter-chromosomal linkage disequilibrium in the human genome uncovers a universal extended LD pattern, consistent with observations in 1KG cohorts.

A long-term arousal state is linked to the acute decision to leave a food patch by sensory neurons that integrate neuromodulatory information, food intake, and environmental signals.

The hadal snailfish rapidly evolved and adapted to extreme deep-sea environments, modifying crucial genes and enhancing tolerance to high-hydrostatic pressure through ferritin gene duplication.

CFAP52 is a candidate for genetic diagnosing male infertility with defects of sperm head-tail connection and flagella development.

A randomized CRISPR-based gene silencing approach overcomes functional redundancy and discovers virulence-critical gene combinations in the pathogen Legionella pneumophila.
