    Genomic architecture and evolutionary antagonism drive allelic expression bias in the social supergene of red fire ants

    Carlos Martinez-Ruiz, Rodrigo Pracana ... Yannick Wurm
    Analyses of allelic- and socially-biased gene expression reveal that suppressed recombination causes most of the expression differences in the social supergene, with only few differences due to socially antagonistic selection.

    Dynamic molecular evolution of a supergene with suppressed recombination in white-throated sparrows

    Hyeonsoo Jeong, Nicole M Baran ... Soojin V Yi
    Comprehensive genomic and population genetic analyses of a non-recombining chromosome in white-throated sparrows reveal the actions of purifying selection, positive selection, and balancing selection, expanding our understanding of supergene evolution.

    Epistatic selection on a selfish Segregation Distorter supergene – drive, recombination, and genetic load

    Beatriz Navarro-Dominguez, Ching-Ho Chang ... Amanda M Larracuente
    African haplotypes of a meiotic drive supergene in Drosophila melanogaster called Segregation Distorter show signs of a recent selective sweep, reduced recombination, and increased genetic load.

    Presence versus absence of CYP734A50 underlies the style-length dimorphism in primroses

    Cuong Nguyen Huu, Christian Kappel ... Michael Lenhard
    CYP734A50 is a heterostyly gene from primroses that underlies the differences in style length between the two forms by degrading growth-promoting hormones in the short styles.

    Colour polymorphism associated with a gene duplication in male wood tiger moths

    Melanie N Brien, Anna Orteu ... Johanna Mappes
    A complex colour polymorphism which links colour with behavioural and life-history traits is associated with a single gene duplication in male wood tiger moths.

    Multimeric single-domain antibody complexes protect against bunyavirus infections

    Paul J Wichgers Schreur, Sandra van de Water ... Jeroen Kortekaas
    Llama-derived single-domain antibodies, formatted as bispecific antibodies with human Fc domains, reduce and prevent bunyavirus-induced morbidity and mortality in mice upon prophylactic and therapeutic administration.

    Regulatory changes in two chemoreceptor genes contribute to a Caenorhabditis elegans QTL for foraging behavior

    Joshua S Greene, May Dobosiewicz ... Cornelia I Bargmann
    A quantitative trait locus that includes two pheromone receptor genes affects foraging behavior; for one of the genes, the two alleles of the QTL have opposite effects because of distinct sites of expression.

    Formicine ants swallow their highly acidic poison for gut microbial selection and control

    Simon Tragust, Claudia Herrmann ... Heike Feldhaar
    Poison acidified crops sanitize food and limit disease transmission while at the same time structuring the gut microbiota and thus contribute to the ecological and evolutionary success of formicine ants.
