A largely shared genetic architecture underlies Saccharomyces cerevisiae persistence across different mouse host genotypes

This study shows that Saccharomyces cerevisiae persistence in mice is polygenic with strong additive effects and minimal host-genotype interactions.

Sexual size dimorphism correlates with the number of androgen response in mammals, but only in small-bodied species

The paper examines sexual size dimorphism in mammals, finding that androgen response elements correlate with SSD in small-bodied species but not in larger ones.

GPSA2: combining landmark-free and landmark-based methods in geometric morphometrics

GPSA2 combines landmark-based and landmark-free methods in geometric morphometrics to improve shape analysis accuracy and interpretability.

Complex genetics cause and constrain fungal persistence in different parts of the mammalian body

The paper identifies genetic loci influencing fungal persistence in different mammalian organs using a yeast model, showing complex interactions between general and organ-specific alleles.
