Comparative transcriptomic analysis reveals the molecular basis and evolution of herbivore-associated early defense signaling in Nicotiana.

During evolutionary progression of Alu-exons, repressive U-tracts buffer sudden gains in 3' splice site strength and prevent inclusion of cryptic exons.

The transcriptional response of human neurons to calcium ion signals shows evolutionary divergence from those responses elicited in mouse neurons, providing evidence in favour of using human systems to study neuronal responses to external stimuli.

Recent functional changes in ancient duplicate genes led to the evolution of divergent regulatory and metabolic strategies by the GALactose gene networks of two yeast species.

The evolution of insecticide-avoidance behaviour can be used to generate new spatial repellents to keep malaria vectors out of homes.

Rewiring of transcriptional circuits can preserve a basic output yet alter almost all of the circuit's quantitative and qualitative features.

Elephants escaped enhanced cancer susceptibility by evolving more master tumor suppressor genes.

A plastic behavior in Escherichia coli is enabled by a single amino acid replacement in adaption to changing environments.
