Dynamic evolution of recently duplicated genes in Caenorhabditis elegans

F. Ma, C. Y. Lau, C. Zheng

This study examines the evolutionary dynamics of recently duplicated genes in C. elegans, finding they show rapid turnover, high diversity, and selection signals but are rarely essential.

Large genetic diversity and strong positive selection in F-box and GPCR genes among the wild isolates of Caenorhabditis elegans

F. Ma, C. Y. Lau, C. Zheng

This study identifies large genetic diversity and strong positive selection in F-box and chemosory GPCR genes across 330 C. elegans wild isolates, with significant divergence in non-Hawaiian populations.

Life Inside A Dinosaur Bone: A Thriving Microbiome

E. T. Saitta, R. Liang, C. Y. Lau, C. M. Brown, N. R. Longrich, T. G. Kaye, B. J. Novak, S. Salzberg, P. Donohoe, M. Dickinson, J. Vinther, I. D. Bull, R. A. Brooker, P. Martin, G. D. Abbott, , T. C. Onstott

This study shows that Late Cretaceous dinosaur bones host a living microbiome, distinct from surrounding sediment, challenging assumptions about fossil preservation and original organic material.
