This study shows that uropathogenic E. coli biofilms exhibit evolutionary stratification, with gene expression becoming younger and more divergent as biofilms develop.

The paper shows that essential amino acids are more costly to synthesize than non-essential ones, leading to their outsourcing in animals due to selective pressures under high respiratory conditions.

This study examines the evolutionary origins of glycosylation machinery genes and their targets in humans, revealing ancient and recent evolutionary patterns in the N-glycosylation pathway.

The paper compares amino acid outsourcing in animals and predatory bacteria, finding convergence in energy-driven selection for AA auxotrophies in Bdellovibrionota but not in Myxococcota.

This study shows that bacterial amino acid auxotrophies are shaped by energy management and correlate with the cost of their proteomes, similar to animals.

The paper investigates whether the hourglass-shaped ontogeny-phylogeny correlation observed in Arabidopsis zygotic embryogenesis is preserved in grapevine somatic embryogenesis, finding that the heart stage has the most conserved transcriptome.
