    Impact of maximal overexpression of a non-toxic protein on yeast cell physiology

    Yuri Fujita, Shotaro Namba ... Hisao Moriya
    A neutrality index identifies mox-YG as a minimally cytotoxic protein, enabling ultra-high expression and uncovering key physiological consequences of protein burden.

    Fast evolutionary turnover and overlapping variances of sex-biased gene expression patterns defy a simple binary sex classification of somatic tissues

    Chen Xie, Sven Künzel, Diethard Tautz
    Sex-biased gene expression in the body organs evolves rapidly, supporting a mosaic model of maleness and femaleness across tissues and thus challenging binary views of sex characteristics in mammals.

    Ancient trans-species polymorphism at the Major Histocompatibility Complex in primates

    Alyssa Lyn Fortier, Jonathan K Pritchard
    Trans-species polymorphism at primate Major Histocompatibility Complex genes is old, especially in the 'classical' genes, while rapidly-evolving regions of each gene correspond with proteins' functional domains.

    Inhibition of the UFD-1-NPL-4 complex triggers an aberrant immune response in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Rajneesh Rao, Alejandro Aballay, Jogender Singh
    Inhibition of the UFD-1-NPL-4 complex activates immune responses in Caenorhabditis elegans that reduce gut pathogen load but simultaneously compromise host survival.

    Regulatory networks of KRAB zinc finger genes and transposable elements changed during human brain evolution and disease

    Yao-Chung Chen, Arnaud Maupas, Katja Nowick
    Primate cross-species analysis of interactions between transposable elements and KRAB-ZNF genes with the new TEKRABber tool highlights human-specific interactions with potential relevance to Alzheimer’s disease.
