The paper identifies genetic regions associated with adaptation to water stress and pastoralism in the Turkana people using genome sequencing.

This paper shows that using relative abundance data to estimate microbiome heritability can lead to imprecise, overestimated, and biased results due to taxon interdependencies, large sample sizes, and microbial co-abundances.

This study identifies lifespan-altering genetic variants in Drosophila under different diets, showing context-dependent effects and genotype-by-environment interactions.

This study shows that host genotype, microbiome, and environment interact to influence host fitness, with mismatches causing fitness costs in a high-sugar diet.

The paper shows that intermediate vertical microbiome transmission can be adaptive in fluctuating environments by increasing phenotypic variability in offspring.

The paper re-analyzes genomic data from Drosophila melanogaster E&R experiments to show the microbiome responds to host selection, with bacterial diversity changes linked to host traits.
