Effects of Sex Steroids on Innate and Adaptive Immunity
Estrogens and androgens are classically recognized as reproductive sex steroid hormones because of their well-documented effects on reproductive...

Genomic predictions of genetic variances and correlations among traits for breeding crosses in soybean
Parental selection is perhaps the most critical decision a breeder makes, establishing the foundation of the entire program for years to come. Cross...

A complete chromosome substitution map** panel reveals genome-wide epistasis in Arabidopsis
Chromosome substitution lines (CSLs) are tentatively supreme resources to investigate non-allelic genetic interactions. However, the difficulty of...

Dissecting the sequential evolution of a selfish mitochondrial genome in Caenorhabditis elegans
Mitochondrial genomes exist in a nested hierarchy of populations where mitochondrial variants are subject to genetic drift and selection at each...

Ecological genetics of isolated loach populations indicate compromised adaptive potential
Many endangered species live in fragmented and isolated populations with low genetic variability, signs of inbreeding, and small effective population...

Genetic and environmental effects on morphological traits of social phenotypes in wasps
Many species exhibit distinct phenotypic classes, such as sexes in dioecious species or castes in social species. The evolution of these classes is...

Long-term climatic stability drives accumulation and maintenance of divergent freshwater fish lineages in a temperate biodiversity hotspot
Anthropogenic climate change is forecast to drive regional climate disruption and instability across the globe. These impacts are likely to be...

Rolling down that mountain: microgeographical adaptive divergence during a fast population expansion along a steep environmental gradient in European beech
Forest tree populations harbour high genetic diversity thanks to large effective population sizes and strong gene flow, allowing them to diversify...

Evidence for gene flow and trait reversal during radiation of Mexican Goodeid fish
Understanding the phylogeographic history of a group and identifying the factors contributing to speciation is an important challenge in evolutionary...

The structure of the TH/INS locus and the parental allele expressed are not conserved between mammals
Parent-of-origin-specific expression of imprinted genes is critical for successful mammalian growth and development. Insulin, coded by the INS gene,...
