Somatic differentiation evolves rapidly and repeatedly through the modification of developmental plasticity

This study shows that somatic differentiation can evolve rapidly through environmental stress by modifying developmental plasticity in Eudorina algae.

Taking genomics outdoors: linking local adaptation, trait variation, and gene expression in grass ecotypes across a rainfall gradient

The paper links gene expression and trait variation to drought responses in grass ecotypes across a rainfall gradient, confirming local adaptation and identifying adaptive strategies.

Transcriptome analysis reveals temporally regulated genetic networks during Drosophila border cell collective migration

The paper identifies temporally regulated genetic networks during Drosophila border cell migration through RNA-sequencing and functional validation.
