Synonymous mutations can have highly variable fitness effects stemming from changes in transcription, some of which contribute to adaptation.

Global relative mRNA and protein abundance in trypanosomatids can be effectively estimated at transcriptomic and proteomic scales based on protein-coding sequences alone.

The translation rates of each yeast codon have been measured in both the A and P sites of the ribosome.

Codon optimization through biased synonymous substitutions is a characteristic feature of the genomes of generalist fungal parasites and is associated with the colonization of multiple hosts.

Superfamilies of trans-species small RNAs from the parasitic plant Cuscuta have sequence variation that correspond to synonymous site variation in host plant target mRNAs.

The activity patterns of populations of neurons in the retina are organized as semantic clusters (analogous to synonyms), in which component patterns bear little physical resemblance to one another but convey the same meaning.

Just 5% of the human genome is subject to neutral evolution but this process remains central to understanding the history of human migration across the Earth.

The use of Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs) improves the proper use of cell lines in the biomedical literature.

Early career researchers commonly peer review manuscripts on behalf of invited reviewers, often without receiving feedback or being named to the journal.

The views of peers are important when applying for a faculty position, but so are research plans and being a good 'fit'.
