The Major Histocompatibility Complex region evolves via gene birth-and-death, resulting in short-lived genes, rapidly expanding gene subfamilies, and many gene fragments.
Mitochondrial remodeling, ROS-dependent signaling, and diverse environmental and physiological cues underlie the initiation and persistence of locomotory activity of C. elegans in toxic H2S.

A multi-level assessment of the relevance of 18 highly conserved neural zebrafish microexons showed that individual deletions of most microexons did not exhibit strong phenotypes, likely because of compensatory changes.
