Divergence of olfactory receptors associated with the evolution of assortative mating and reproductive isolation in mice

This study identifies olfactory receptor genes associated with assortative mating and reproductive isolation in mice by combining population genomics and functional predictions.

The regenerative response of cardiac interstitial cells

This study investigates the role of cardiac interstitial cells in zebrafish heart regeneration using scRNA-seq and identifies novel features that may inform human cardiac regeneration.

Autoregulation dependent and independent mechanisms are responsible for the systemic control of nodule formation by the plant N demand

This study identifies both autoregulation-dependent and -independent mechanisms controlling systemic N signaling in nodule formation in legumes.

Differential immune gene expression associated with contemporary range expansion of two invasive rodents in Senegal

The paper compares gene expression in ancient and recently invaded populations of two rodents in Senegal, finding immune-related gene overexpression in mice but not rats.

Transcriptomic analysis with the progress of symbiosis in ‘crack-entry’ legume Arachis hypogaea highlights its contrast with ‘infection thread’ adapted legumes

This study compares the transcriptomic profiles of symbiosis progression in crack-entry legume Arachis hypogaea with infection thread-adapted legumes, identifying key gene expression differences.

The genomic basis of colour pattern polymorphism in the harlequin ladybird

This study identifies the gene pannier as controlling melanic pattern polymorphism in the harlequin ladybird through cis-regulatory allelic variation.

Transcriptomic response to host and non-host plants during oviposition in two closely related moth species

This study compares transcriptomic responses to host and non-host plants in two moth species, identifying genes and functions associated with host specialization and species divergence.
