Tandem duplication of serpin genes yields functional variation and snake venom inhibitors.

Meilyn S Ward, Matthew L. Holding, Laura M. Haynes, Mark J. Margres, Marjorie D. Matocq, David Ginsburg

The paper studies gene duplication in SERPINA genes across vertebrates and shows that duplicated paralogs in rodents can inhibit snake venom proteases, suggesting adaptive functional variation.

Response to "No evidence that transmissible cancer has shifted from emergence to endemism in Tasmanian devils"

Andrew T. Storfer, Mark J. Margres, Christopher P. Kozakiewicz, Rodrigo Hamede, Manuel Ruiz‐Aravena, David G. Hamilton, Sébastien Comte, Tanja Stadler, Adam D. Leaché, Hamish Ian McCallum, Menna E. Jones, Paul A. Hohenlohe

The paper rebuts a critique by showing that re-analyzed data supports the original findings that the transmissible cancer in Tasmanian devils has transitioned to endemism.
