Panzootic chytrid fungus exploits diverse amphibian host environments through plastic infection strategies

This study investigates how the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis adapts its infection strategies across diverse amphibian hosts through gene expression plasticity and evolutionary mechanisms.

Molecular evolution of DNMT1 in vertebrates: duplications in marsupials followed by positive selection

The paper studies the molecular evolution of DNMT1 in 79 vertebrates, finding duplications in marsupials and evidence of positive selection in one copy.
