The paper tests for positive selection in centromere-associated kinetochore proteins across diverse animal groups but finds sporadic positive selection in some proteins.

The paper uses a mutant fish model to show endosome trafficking disorders link to gut microbiome changes and inflammatory bowel disease.

This study shows that a maternal Western-style diet during pregnancy and lactation alters skeletal muscle gene expression in offspring, affecting insulin signaling and metabolic health.

This study presents chromosome-scale genomes for leafy and weedy seadragons, identifying genomic features linked to their unique biology and evolutionary traits.

The paper maps QTLs for intestinal neutrophil variation and inflammation in stickleback populations, linking them to neurodegenerative disease genes.
