Parallelism between phylogeny and ontogeny

The paper demonstrates parallelism between phylogeny and ontogeny using transcriptomics and phylostratigraphy, showing that later phylogenetically emerging genes are expressed later in ontogeny.

Feasibility Study Utilizing NanoString Digital Spatial Profiling (DSP) Technology for Characterizing the Immune Microenvironment in Barrett's Esophagus FFPE Tissues

This study assesses the feasibility of using NanoString GeoMx DSP to analyze immune microenvironment features in Barrett's esophagus FFPE tissues and identifies potential protein and transcriptomic differences between progressors and non-progressors.

Traditional phylogenetic models fail to account for variations in the effective population size

This study compares traditional phylogenetic models with population genetic models using genomic data from 17 species, finding that traditional models overlook effective population size effects despite incorporating substitution rates.

Worldwide late-Quaternary population declines in extant megafauna are due to Homo sapiens rather than climate

The paper analyzes genome data to show that Homo sapiens, not climate, caused population declines in megafauna over the last 100,000 years.

Evolutionary dynamics of pseudoautosomal region 1 in humans and great apes

This study quantifies evolutionary forces shaping PAR1 in humans and great apes, revealing mutation bias and recombination effects, but no sexually antagonistic selection.

Population dynamics of GC-changing mutations in humans and great apes

The paper examines how GC-biased gene conversion (gBGC) affects different mutation types in humans and great apes, finding stronger correlations with recombination for transitions than transversions.

Optimization of 3D bioprinting of human neuroblastoma cells using sodium alginate hydrogel

This study optimizes 3D bioprinting of human neuroblastoma cells in sodium alginate hydrogel using POI, achieving 83% cell viability after 7 days.

Does Adaptive Protein Evolution Proceed by Large or Small Steps at the Amino Acid Level?

The paper investigates whether adaptive protein evolution occurs through large or small amino acid substitutions and finds that both adaptive and neutral evolution are dominated by substitutions between similar amino acids.
