Genomic consequences of range expansion and colonisation in the reed warbler (Acrocephalus scirpaceus)

This study examines the genetic consequences of northward and southward range expansions in reed warblers using RAD-seq, finding little genetic structure and local adaptation to climate variables.

Ancient DNA evidence for the ecological globalisation of cod fishing in medieval and post-medieval Europe

This study uses ancient DNA to trace the origins of Atlantic cod specimens from medieval to post-medieval Europe, showing shifts from local to distant sources over time.

Characterization of the DNA binding domain of StbA, a key protein of a new type of DNA segregation system

This study determines the crystal structure of the N-terminal DNA-binding domain of StbA, revealing its HTH motif and role in plasmid segregation and transcription repression.

Predictors of genomic differentiation within a hybrid taxon

The paper investigates predictors of genomic differentiation in hybrid sparrow populations, finding that recombination rate and selection influence differentiation patterns.

The preservation of ancient DNA in archaeological fish bone

This study investigates DNA preservation in archaeological fish bones, finding high endogenous DNA levels and highlighting the role of bone remodeling in DNA preservation across vertebrates.

Intraspecific genomic variation and local adaptation in a young hybrid species

This study examines how a young hybrid species, the Italian sparrow, has evolved and adapted to its environment through genomic analysis of population divergence and adaptation.

Comparative analysis of MOBQ4 plasmids demonstrates that MOBQ is a cis-acting-enriched relaxase protein family

The paper compares MOBQ4 plasmids, showing they are a cis-acting-enriched relaxase family that can coexist and transfer efficiently with helper plasmids.
