Vocal communication is a conserved vertebrate social behavior that begins at birth with the cries of infants. These neonatal vocal signals vary across contexts to elicit parental care that matches inf...

The Department of Biology at Stanford University seeks applicants for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Evolutionary Biology. A successful candidate will conduct research that asks fundamental que...

Dorsal and ventral noradrenergic neurons in the locus coeruleus form topographic subpopulations whose projection patterns and activity encode choice switching, reward-prediction errors and disregard o...

The genomic regions regulating gene expression are often themselves transcribed into a variety of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). However, the regulatory roles of this noncoding transcription remain largely ...

GPN-Star, a genomic language model with a phylogeny-aware architecture for whole-genome alignment data, is shown to be a scalable and flexible tool for genetic variant effect prediction across species...

Cara, Guthman, et al. present neuro-seeER, an optical tool for monitoring how neurons respond dynamically to the hormone estrogen. By tracking these dynamics across the reproductive cycle in female mi...

The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) appreciates your interest in employment. We ask that you keep in mind the following when completing your application: Once you start the application process ...

The relative importance of genetic drift versus selection to evolutionary change has long been debated. This debate has mainly focused over long-time-scales (e.g. hundreds of thousands of generations)...

In avocado and certain wild relatives in Lauraceae, a highly synchronized daily rhythm of floral sex timing promotes cross-pollination between two ...

Imprinted genes do not act alone to shape seed development, but as a complex network - just like any other gene. Yet, the molecular context in which they are embedded, i.e. their gene network, remains...

The Genome Informed Risk Assessment (GIRA) from eMERGE is an ongoing pragmatic prospective study designed to implement and evaluate genomic precision medicine across diverse clinical settings. Here, w...

Sex-linked traits are widespread, but their genetic architecture has been challenging to characterize, due in part to the repetitive and structurally complex nature of sex chromosomes. In swordtails a...
