Losses of TMC and CIB neurosensory genes in schizophoran flies at the PETM

Haley V. Reeves, Cal Baker, Aleicea Rodriguez…·Albert J. Erives

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

Multiple separate cases of pseudogenized meiosis genes Msh4 and Msh5 in Eurotiomycete fungi: associations with Zip3 sequence evolution and homothallism, but not Pch2 losses

Elizabeth Savelkoul, Cynthia Toll, Nathan Benassi, John M. Logsdon Jr.

The paper investigates independent pseudogenization of meiosis genes in Eurotiomycete fungi, finding no direct link between Pch2 loss and other gene losses but evidence of molecular coevolution between Msh4, Msh5, and Zip3.
