Disentangling positive vs. relaxed selection in animal mitochondrial genomes

K. D. Zwonitzer, E. N. K. Iverson, J. J. Sterling, R. J. Weaver, B. A. Maclaine, J. C. Havird

The paper reevaluates seven case studies of elevated dN/dS ratios in animal mtDNA, finding that elevated ratios are often not caused by the predicted selection mechanisms and sometimes support the opposite.

Fatty acid binding proteins shape the cellular response to activation of the glucocorticoid receptor

B. Liu, I. R. Chandrashekaran, O. Ilyichova, D. Valour, F. Melchiore, C. Bourrier, A. Giganti, J.-P. Stephan, C. Dacquet, P. Genissel, W. Gosgnach, R. J. Weaver, C. J. Porter, M. J. Scanlon, M. L. Halls

This study shows that certain fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) modulate glucocorticoid receptor (GR) transcriptional activity in a ligand-dependent manner, potentially enabling more targeted GR-based therapies.

On the bioconversion of dietary carotenoids to astaxanthin and its distribution in the marine copepod, Tigriopus californicus

R. J. Weaver, P. A. Cobine, G. E. Hill

This study shows that Tigriopus californicus converts dietary carotenoids to astaxanthin and describes its distribution in egg sacs, but not in naupliar eyespots.
