Salt stress alters the spectrum of de novo mutation available to selection during experimental adaptation of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

This study examines how salt stress affects mutation rates and patterns in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii during adaptation, finding increased indel mutations and clustering under selection.

Protective microbe enhances colonisation of a novel host species by modifying immune gene expression

The paper shows a protective microbe alters host immune gene expression to enhance its own colonization and protection in a novel host species.

Artificial selection finds new hypotheses for the mechanism of Wolbachia-mediated dengue blocking in mosquitoes

The paper uses artificial selection to identify genetic variations linked to Wolbachia-mediated dengue blocking in mosquitoes and proposes hypotheses about the underlying mechanisms.
