Genotype-specific expression of uncle fester suggests a role in allorecognition education in a basal chordate

D. A. Taketa, L. Cengher, D. Rodriguez, A. D. Langenbacher, A. W. De Tomaso

The paper reports genotype-specific expression of uncle fester in botryllid ascidians, showing it correlates with rejection response speed and severity, suggesting a role in allorecognition education.

Molecular evolution of luciferase diversified bioluminescent signals in sea fireflies

N. M. Hensley, E. A. Ellis, N. Y. Leung, J. Coupart, A. Mikhailovsky, D. A. Taketa, M. Tessler, D. F. Gruber, Y. Mitani, A. W. De Tomaso, T. J. Rivers, G. A. Gerrish, E. Torres, T. H. Oakley

This study identifies a single gene, cypridinid-luciferase, as a key driver of bioluminescent signal diversification in sea fireflies, showing how selection, drift, and constraint shaped phenotypic variation across species.
