Potential Achilles heels of SARS-CoV-2 are best displayed by the base order-dependent component of RNA folding energy

C. Zhang, D. R. Forsdyke

The paper identifies conserved regions in SARS-CoV-2 with high base order-dependent folding energy, suggesting they may be potential therapeutic targets similar to HIV-1.

The Chromosomal Basis of Species Initiation: Prdm9 as an Anti-Speciation Gene

D. R. Forsdyke

The paper investigates how PRDM9 influences chromosomal mechanisms to prevent speciation by asymmetrical epigenetic labeling of mismatched DNA strands.

Base composition, speciation, and why the mitochondrial barcode precisely classifies

D. R. Forsdyke

The paper explains how mitochondrial DNA barcodes, though not directly causing speciation, reflect nuclear DNA changes that can lead to reproductive isolation and speciation.
