This study examines regulatory divergence in the Daphnia pulex complex by analyzing promoter architecture and gene expression across developmental stages.

The paper identifies a genetic variant in Daphnia pulex that suppresses recombination, leading to the emergence of a mixed-mating system with both genetic and environmental sex determination.

The paper analyzes mutation dynamics in Daphnia obtusa using whole-genome sequencing of mutation accumulation lines, revealing mutation rates, spectra, and selection pressures affecting genome stability.

The paper analyzes gene expression across eight tissues in Daphnia pulex and investigates selection pressures on genes in different tissues, identifying novel evolutionary patterns.
