The paper examines gene expression evolution in primate immune cells under different conditions, finding that perturbation-responsive genes evolve faster than baseline genes.

This study examines how APOE isoforms affect biological outcomes in industrialized and non-industrial environments, finding lifestyle-dependent effects and weak reproductive benefits for APOE ε4.

The paper examines how early-life and current environments affect immune function in the Orang Asli, finding current lifestyle has stronger effects on immune gene expression than early-life conditions.

The paper develops and evaluates tailored illustrations to improve community understanding of genetics concepts through iterative feedback and analysis of engagement patterns.

This paper shows that rhodopsin's light protection mechanism evolved to sequester toxic retinal and protect retinal cells, with implications for human disease.

The paper analyzes RNA-seq data from public databases and finds significant underrepresentation of non-European populations, highlighting biases in population descriptors.

This study examines sex differences in immune function and disease risk across populations, finding no consistent support for the evolutionary mismatch hypothesis.
