This study finds no whole-chromosome dosage compensation or global transcriptomic differences in aneuploid yeast lines, but detects gene-level expression attenuation and mutation accumulation effects.

The paper quantifies age-related somatic mutations and epimutations in a wild Populus trichocarpa tree over 330 years, showing lower mutation rates than annuals and distinct epimutation origins.

The paper generates genomes for three bioluminescent beetles to study the genetic basis of bioluminescence and finds at least two independent evolutionary origins of the trait.
