Functional Test of a Naturally Occurred Tumor Modifier Gene Provides Insights to Melanoma Development

The paper tests the function of adgre5 alleles in melanoma development using Xiphophorus hybrids and finds that the X. birchmanni allele suppresses melanoma while the X. malinche allele does not.

A widely-used pollutant causes reversal of conspecific mate preference in a freshwater fish

This study shows that calcium hydroxide pollution reverses mate preference in swordtail fish, promoting hybridization between species.

Species-typical chemical signals mediate reproductive isolation in a teleost fish

The authors withdrew their manuscript due to invalid behavioral data with duplicated values, rendering analyses and conclusions unreliable.

The genetic architecture of the sexually selected sword ornament and its evolution in hybrid populations

The paper investigates the genetic architecture of a sexually selected sword ornament in swordtail fish, identifying a major QTL and candidate genes, and finding evidence of selection against the trait in hybrid populations.

Natural hybridization reveals incompatible alleles that cause melanoma in swordtail fish

Using a combination of mapping approaches, we identify interacting genes that lead to melanoma in hybrids and characterize their effects in natural hybrid populations.

Repeated losses of PRDM9-directed recombination despite the conservation of PRDM9 across vertebrates

The paper identifies PRDM9 orthologs across 225 vertebrate species and finds repeated losses of PRDM9-directed recombination despite its conservation, linking complete orthologs to rapid evolution of binding affinity.
