TRPML1 activation ameliorates lysosomal phenotypes in CLN3 deficient retinal pigment epithelial cells

This study shows TRPML1 activation reduces lysosomal storage in CLN3-deficient retinal cells but does not restore BMP levels.

A Phylogenomic Assessment of Processes Underpinning Convergent Evolution in Open-Habitat Chats

This study investigates convergent evolution in open-habitat chats using phylogenomic analyses to assess the roles of ILS, introgression, and novel mutations.

Linked-read sequencing enables haplotype-resolved resequencing at population scale

This study shows that linked-read sequencing at moderate depth can produce high-quality haplotype-resolved genome data for population-scale resequencing in birds.

Regionally divergent drivers of historical diversification in the late Quaternary in a widely distributed generalist species, the common pheasant Phasianus colchicus

This study identifies eight distinct evolutionary lineages in the common pheasant, revealing regionally divergent drivers of diversification and suggesting the species should be split into three species.

Visualization and regulation of translocons in Yersinia type III protein secretion machines during host cell infection

This study visualizes Yersinia translocons during host infection using superresolution microscopy and shows their regulation by host factors like Rac1.

Inference of evolutionary jumps in large phylogenies using Levy processes

The paper develops an efficient algorithm to infer evolutionary jumps in large phylogenies and applies it to Anolis lizards and Loriini parrots, finding strong signals at the bases of clades transitioning into new adaptive zones.
