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... -
Long-term biotic homogenization in the East African Rift System over the last 6 million years of hominin evolution
Eastern Africa preserves the most complete record of human evolution anywhere in the world but we have little knowledge of how long-term...

Comprehensive and deep evaluation of structural variation detection pipelines with third-generation sequencing data
BackgroundStructural variation (SV) detection methods using third-generation sequencing data are widely employed, yet accurately detecting SVs...

Exploring the cooperation between nitrogen-fixing and non-fixing alfalfa rhizobia
Alfalfa plays a crucial role in agriculture due to its nitrogen-fixing partnership with rhizobia, resulting in nutritious forage. While the potential...

Diagnostic applicability of mitogenomics in uncovering intraspecific carangid diversifications: insights into phylogeny, divergence time, and characterization of two cryptic Selaroides leptolepis mitogenomes
Carangidae is an economically important fish family comprised of 32 genera with more than 140 circumglobally distributed species. Its members exhibit...

Socio-economic and environmental trade-offs in Amazonian protected areas and Indigenous territories revealed by assessing competing land uses
Protected area (PA) assessments rarely evaluate socio-economic and environmental impacts relative to competing land uses, limiting understanding of...

Aquatic deoxygenation as a planetary boundary and key regulator of Earth system stability
Planetary boundaries represent thresholds in major Earth system processes that are sensitive to human activity and control global-scale habitability...

Systemic interindividual DNA methylation variants in cattle share major hallmarks with those in humans
BackgroundWe recently identified ~ 10,000 correlated regions of systemic interindividual epigenetic variation (CoRSIVs) in the human genome. These...

Meta-analysis of six dairy cattle breeds reveals biologically relevant candidate genes for mastitis resistance
BackgroundMastitis is a disease that incurs significant costs in the dairy industry. A promising approach to mitigate its negative effects is to...

Restructuring of Skull Modularity Pattern in Evolution Within Myotis myotis–Myotis blythii Species Group (Vespertilionidae, Chiroptera, Mammalia)
Studies of differences in modularity and integration among the related species can provide important information on their evolution. We argue that...
