A comprehensive and genome-wide description of the genomic make-up and frequency of meiotic recombination in Arabidopsis thaliana reveals regional preferences, including nucleosome-free regions, and two associated recombination motifs.

Biperiden, but not amisulpride, delays auditory mismatch responses during environmental stability, suggesting a differential sensitivity of auditory statistical learning to muscarinic versus dopaminergic receptor status which could prove useful for developing tests that predict an individual's response to antipsychotic treatment.

A common chromosome inversion in African malaria mosquito (Anopheles gambiae) is associated with differences in malaria infection, adult resting behavior and ecology, and may aid the most efficient vectors to evade malaria control.

The activation of transposable elements and relaxed purifying selection underpin an incipient expansion of the genome in populations of a major wheat pathogen.

Environmentally responsive genes evolve under strong selective constraint in Arabidopsis lyrata.

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.

Allele-specific expression due to genetic differences, X-chromosome inactivation or genomic imprinting, varies dynamically throughout development, and may be explained by allele-specific differences in stability or the actions of tissue-specific enhancers.

Quantitative genetic analyses reveal remarkably broad genetic variation underlies the requirement for two critical regulatory inputs into a core embryonic gene regulatory network within one animal species.

By modulating the intensity of balancing selection at the S-locus, dominance between self-incompatibility alleles shapes the genetic load linked to each allele, creating inbreeding depression in some S-locus homozygotes.
