The genomic basis of hybrid male sterility in Ficedula flycatchers

J. C. Segami Marzal, C. F. Mugal, C. Cunha, C. Bergin, M. Schmitz, M. Semon, A. Qvarnstrom

The paper identifies candidate genes for hybrid male sterility in birds using genomic and transcriptomic data, revealing chromosomal and chromatin-related issues in hybrid spermatogenesis.

Single-Cell Transcriptomics reveals relaxed evolutionary constraint of spermatogenesis in two passerine birds as compared to mammals

J. C. Segami Marzal, M. Semon, C. Cunha, C. Bergin, C. F. Mugal, A. Qvarnstrom

This study uses single-cell transcriptomics to compare spermatogenesis in two passerine birds with mammals, finding relaxed evolutionary constraint in avian spermatocyte genes linked to ZW sex chromosomes.

Phenotypic innovation in one tooth induced concerted developmental evolution in another

M. Semon, L. Gueguen, K. Steklikova, M. Mouginot, M. Peltier, P. Veber, S. Pantalacci

The paper shows that independent evolution of one organ involves coordinated developmental changes in both organs, facilitated by developmental system drift.

Developmental variability drives mouse molar evolution along an evolutionary line of least resistance

L. HAYDEN, K. LOCHOVSKA, M. SEMON, S. RENAUD, M.-L. DELIGNETTE-MULLER, M. VILCOT, R. PETERKOVA, M. HOVORAKOVA, S. PANTALACCI

This study identifies developmental mechanisms driving phenotypic variation in mouse molars, showing how upper molar shape is more variable due to differences in signaling center dynamics and activation-inhibition mechanisms.

Accurate detection of convergent amino-acid evolution with PCOC

C. Rey, L. Gueguen, M. Semon, B. Boussau

The paper introduces PCOC, a method to detect convergent amino-acid evolution by identifying shifts in amino acid preferences rather than exact substitutions, showing improved performance on simulations and plant protein alignments.

Biased gene conversion drives codon usage in human and precludes selection on translation efficiency

F. Pouyet, D. Mouchiroud, L. Duret, M. Semon

This study shows that GC-biased gene conversion, not translation efficiency, drives codon usage variation in human genes, explaining 81.3% of the variance.
