The paper investigates the loss of TMC and CIB genes in schizophoran flies during the Paleogene, linking it to the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum.

This study investigates the evolution of beta-catenin paralogs in C. elegans, showing that SYS-1 compensates for missing domains through novel transactivation and nuclear localization mechanisms.

The paper introduces a new alignment method, MPGA, to better handle tandem repeats and replication slippage in DNA sequences, showing improved measures of substitution rates and transition-to-transversion ratios.

The paper identifies a regulatory variant near human KRT8/18 by analyzing zebrafish periderm enhancers and predicting the effect of OFC-associated SNPs.

This paper introduces maximal homology alignment (MHA), a new DNA sequence alignment method that models orthological and paralogical relationships, showing it is more informative than gapped alignment for sequences with local microparalogy.

The paper introduces maximal homology alignment (MHA) to address flaws in gapped alignment by representing microparalogy in two dimensions, improving alignment of non-protein-coding regulatory sequences.

The paper identifies conserved polyQ insertion slots in Notch and Huntingtin proteins, suggesting they function as ankyrin repeat interference elements that dynamically compete with solenoid formation.
