Salinity adaptation in date palm (Phoenix dactylifera): evidence for selective sweeps at Salt Overly Sensitive (SOS) genes

Peter Muchina, Shameem Younuskunju, Ayeda A Ahmed…·Joel A Malek

This study identifies selective sweeps in SOS pathway genes of date palm genomes, suggesting adaptation to salinity through genetic changes.

Human-Mediated Dispersal and Breeding Reshape Global Genomic Patterns in Black Soldier Flies

Peter Muchina, Johnson D. M. Kinyua, Fathiya M. Khamis…·Zexi Cai

This study uses whole-genome sequencing to show that captive black soldier fly populations have reduced genetic diversity and inbreeding due to human-mediated dispersal and uncoordinated breeding.
