The paper uses single-cell RNAseq and population genomic data to show that immune cell types have faster evolutionary divergence in their characteristic genes compared to non-immune cell types.

The paper examines gene regulation changes in threespine stickleback populations with varying resistance to a freshwater cestode, showing population-specific transcriptomic responses and the role of fibrosis in parasite defense.

The paper tests macroevolutionary stability of transcriptomic responses to an immune challenge across 15 jawed fish species, finding inconsistent gene expression patterns despite conserved phenotypic responses.

This study identifies environmental factors influencing coral disease susceptibility by analyzing field data and lab experiments on immune responses in corals.

This study investigates how heat stress affects immune responses and nutrient exchange in Exaiptasia diaphana, linking bleaching to increased disease susceptibility.

The paper introduces snQTL, a network-based method to map QTLs affecting gene co-expression networks, demonstrating its effectiveness in stickleback data by uncovering missed candidate genes.

This study investigates the relationship between photosymbiont density and immune responses in the coral Astrangia poculata, finding positive associations between symbiont density and both constitutive and induced immunity.
