Allele surfing causes maladaptation in a Pacific salmon of conservation concern

This study shows that allele surfing during postglacial expansion in Coho salmon increases deleterious mutation load and reduces selection efficacy, influenced by population size, recombination rates, and chromosomal inheritance.

Protective role of podocytic IL-15/STAT5 pathway in experimental focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis

This study identifies the podocytic IL-15/STAT5 pathway as a protective mechanism in FSGS, showing that IL-15 alleviates glomerular injury by maintaining autophagy.

Demographic history shaped geographical patterns of deleterious mutation load in a broadly distributed Pacific Salmon

The paper reconstructs the demographic history of Coho salmon to show how past population dynamics shaped regional differences in deleterious mutation load.

The rise and fall of the ancient northern pike master sex determining gene

The paper traces the evolution of sex determination in northern pike, revealing an ancient origin of the master sex-determining gene and recent transitions including Y-chromosome loss.

Convergence in form and function overcomes non-parallel evolutionary histories in a Holarctic fish

This study shows that parallel phenotypic evolution can occur through non-parallel genetic pathways in Arctic charr, with gene expression playing a key role in phenotypic similarity.
