An integrative approach is used to identify a mechanism by which the fitness effects of Y chromosomes can manifest via trans effects on autosomal genes, through their effects on male courtship and other sexually selected traits.
Monosomy in yeast results in numerous gene dosage insufficiencies with potentially lethal collective effect, but strong positive epistasis rooted in the modular structure of cell metabolism cancels it.

An interdisciplinary research platform reveals that the transcriptional identity of metazoan male germ cells is built around a small network of deeply conserved gene interactions with an overarching functional impact.
Early seeds without cupules evolved functions in wind dispersal and probable photosynthetic nutrition and three-winged seeds are more adapted to wind dispersal than seeds with one, two, or four wings.

The retrieval of whole genomes from museum specimens from the extinct Xerxes Blue butterfly shows signals of population decline that could be use to identify present-day endangered insect species.
