The paper identifies a genetic basis for a sexual mimicry polymorphism in swordtail fish and links it to behavioral interactions that may maintain the polymorphism.

The paper identifies a locus in one Xiphophorus species that represses an oncogene from another species, providing insights into hybrid incompatibility and pigment cell regulation.

The paper shows that local ancestry in hybrid swordtail fish populations is repeatable due to strong early selection, and this repeatability increases with deeper evolutionary divergence.

This study identifies heterozygous FTH1 variants causing a novel pediatric neuroferritinopathy with neuroimaging and neuropathological features, and suggests antisense oligonucleotide therapy.
