Tissue-specific and cis-regulatory changes underlie parallel, adaptive gene expression evolution in house mice

S. M. Durkin, M. A. Ballinger, M. W. Nachman

This study identifies tissue-specific and cis-regulatory changes as key drivers of parallel gene expression evolution in cold-adapted house mice.

The evolution and mutational robustness of chromatin accessibility in Drosophila

S. Khodursky, E. B. Zheng, N. Svetec, S. M. Durkin, S. Benjamin, A. Gadau, X. Wu, L. Zhao

This study uses deep neural networks to analyze chromatin accessibility in Drosophila, showing sequence determinants are conserved and accessibility is mutationally robust yet malleable under selection.

Environmentally robust cis-regulatory changes underlie rapid climatic adaptation

M. A. Ballinger, K. L. Mack, S. M. Durkin, E. A. Riddell, M. W. Nachman

This study identifies cis-regulatory divergence as a major driver of adaptive gene expression changes in house mice across thermal environments, with trans-effects contributing to plasticity.

Behavioral and genomic sensory adaptations underlying the pest activity of Drosophila suzukii

S. M. Durkin, M. Chakraborty, A. Abrieux, K. M. Lewald, A. Gadau, N. Svetec, J. Peng, M. Kopyto, C. B. Langer, J. C. Chiu, J. J. Emerson, L. Zhao

This study investigates the evolutionary basis of Drosophila suzukii's egg-laying behavior by combining behavioral, genomic, and gene expression analyses with closely related species.
