   The effect of hybridization on transposable element accumulation in an undomesticated fungal species

   Mathieu Hénault et al.

   Transposable elements are not reactivated in natural hybrids of the yeast Saccharomyces paradoxus, but their accumulation is genotype-specific and is not predicted by the evolutionary divergence between a hybrid's parents.

   Secondary ossification center induces and protects growth plate structure

   Meng Xie et al.

   The principle underlying the appearance of the growth plate, an organ responsible for longitudinal growth, has implications for various cartilage pathologies including growth abnormalities in children, trauma and osteoarthritis.

   A broad mutational target explains a fast rate of phenotypic evolution

   Fabrice Besnard et al.

   A broad mutational target is the cause of the high mutational variance and corresponding fast phenotypic evolutionary rate in P3.p cell fate in Caenorhabditis nematodes.

   Mutations: A larger target leads to faster evolution

   Bing Yang, Scott A Rifkin

   The speed at which a cell fate decision in nematode worms evolves is due to the number of genes that control the decision, rather than to a high mutation rate.

    Integrating genotypes and phenotypes improves long-term forecasts of seasonal influenza A/H3N2 evolution

    John Huddleston et al.

    The combination of phenotypic measures of antigenic drift and genotypic measures of functional constraint improves the accuracy of long-term seasonal influenza A/H3N2 forecasts.
