TRPV4 is expressed by enteric glia and muscularis macrophages of the colon but does not play a prominent role in colonic motility

This paper identifies TRPV4-expressing cell types in the colon and shows limited involvement of TRPV4 in colonic motility.

The timing of human adaptation from Neanderthal introgression

This study examines the timing of selection on Neanderthal introgressed alleles in modern humans, identifying cases where these alleles were quickly beneficial or persisted for later selection.

Parallel and nonparallel genomic responses contribute to herbicide resistance in Ipomoea purpurea, a common agricultural weed

This study investigates glyphosate resistance in Ipomoea purpurea, finding no changes in the target protein but identifying genomic regions under selection that show both parallel and divergent changes across resistant populations.

Detection of cross-contamination and strong mitonuclear discordance in two species groups of sawfly genus Empria (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinidae)

The paper investigates mitonuclear discordance and cross-contamination in sawfly species using genomic and Sanger sequencing data, finding that cross-contamination may explain some discordance.

Population genomics perspectives on convergent adaptation

This paper discusses convergent adaptation and outlines a framework to assess its significance using population genomics approaches.

Distinguishing among modes of convergent adaptation using population genomic data

This paper develops a statistical method to detect and distinguish modes of convergent adaptation using population genomic data, applying it to cases of copper tolerance and pollutant tolerance in plants and fish.
