Genome sequences of the five Sitopsis species of Aegilops and the origin of polyploid wheat B-subgenome

L. Li, Z. Zhang, Z. Wang, N. Li, Y. Sha, X. Wang, N. Ding, Y. Li, J. Zhao, Y. Wu, L. Gong, F. Mafessoni, A. Levy, B. Liu

This paper reports chromosome-level genome assemblies of five Sitopsis species and identifies the B-subgenome donor of bread wheat as an extinct species closely related to Ae. speltoides.

Non-genetic maternal effects shape individual differences in cortisol phenotypes in wild chimpanzees

P. J. Tkaczynski, F. Mafessoni, C. Girard-Buttoz, L. Samuni, C. Y. Ackermann, P. Fedurek, C. Gomes, C. Hobaiter, T. Lohrich, V. Manin, A. Preis, P. Vale, E. G. Wessling, L. Wittiger, Z. Zommers, , C. Crockford

The paper examines maternal effects on cortisol phenotypes in wild chimpanzees, finding maternal influence explains 10% of variation, while genetic factors are not distinguishable from zero.
