Structural evolution of a yeast amyloid in vivo is shaped by chaperones

This study shows that chaperones shape the structural evolution of yeast prion amyloids during maturation, with Hsp104 inhibiting structural diversity.

Epigenetic signatures of infection within and across generations in the endangered Loggerhead sea turtle

This study identifies generation-specific DNA methylation signatures associated with parasitic infection in loggerhead sea turtles and demonstrates their potential as biomarkers.

Warming-induced sex bias fuels deceptive conservation success in sea turtles

The paper shows that warming-induced female-biased sex ratios in sea turtles create false conservation success by inflating population growth before male scarcity causes collapse.

DNA methylation reveals evolved buffering responses to climate-driven sex ratio skew in sea turtles

The paper identifies DNA methylation markers in loggerhead turtles to show that temperature-based sex ratio models overestimate female production by up to 60.2%.

Chromosome-level genome assembly and methylome profile enables insights for the conservation of endangered loggerhead sea turtles

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome and methylome for loggerhead sea turtles, linking genetic and epigenetic diversity to conservation insights.

DNA methylation carries signatures of sublethal effects under thermal stress in loggerhead sea turtles

This study identifies DNA methylation changes in loggerhead sea turtles exposed to higher incubation temperatures, suggesting sublethal effects of thermal stress on hatchling quality and adaptive potential.
