    Characterization of cancer-driving nucleotides (CDNs) across genes, cancer types, and patients

    Lingjie Zhang, Tong Deng ... Hai-Jun Wen
    Analyses of discovered cancer-driving nucleotides (CDNs) reveal their evolutionary, biochemical, and therapeutic characteristics that are often shared among multiple cancer types.

    The theory of massively repeated evolution and full identifications of cancer-driving nucleotides (CDNs)

    Lingjie Zhang, Tong Deng ... Chung-I Wu
    A mathematical model shows that mutations that recur even modestly among cancer patients are cancer driving nucleotides that can be exhaustively identified to serve as targets of cancer therapy.

    The evolutionary history of the ancient weevil family Belidae (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) reveals the marks of Gondwana breakup and major floristic turnovers, including the rise of angiosperms

    Xuankun Li, Adriana E Marvaldi ... Duane D McKenna
    The evolutionary trajectory of phytophagous weevils reveals how ancient host plant shifts and continental drift influenced the development of diverse insect-plant interactions through time.

    A systematic review and meta-analysis of eyespot anti-predator mechanisms

    Ayumi Mizuno, Malgorzata Lagisz ... Shinichi Nakagawa
    The efficacy of eyespots in deterring avian predators is more due to their conspicuousness rather than their resemblance to eyes.
