Equal contribution designations (co-first and co-last authorship) is on the rise, yet this information is routinely lost, creating inequity in recognition and crediting. This Perspective calls for…

Gene and genome duplications are fundamental forces driving plant evolution, leading to relaxed selection and expanding genetic toolkits (Van de Peer et al

Increasing evidence suggests that lichens are not just a partnership between one fungus and one alga or cyanobacterium but may contain multiple intera…

The Asgard archaea have become a cornerstone of archaeal research, particularly for studies aiming to unravel the origin and early evolution of eukaryotes. This Review outlines the current state of th...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

dplyr 1.2.0 fills in some important gaps in dplyr's API: we've added a new complement to `filter()` focused on dropping rows, and we've expanded the `case_when()` family with three new recoding and re...

Legumes are pivotal for sustainable agriculture, yet their productivity is hindered by soilborne pathogens such as Aphanomyces euteiches . This study introduces Aeschynomene evenia as a novel model to...

The newly described microbe represents a world of parasitic, intercellular biodiversity only beginning to be revealed by genome sequencing.

Author summary Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) is a reproductive strategy used by certain bacteria to promote their spread within arthropod populations. These bacteria, inherited through the mother, ...

Abstract. Horizontal gene transfers (HGT) have been observed across the tree of life. While their adaptive importance in bacteria is conspicuous, the occur

Convergent evolution, where unrelated taxa independently evolve similar nucleotide or amino acid compositions, can introduce compositional bias into biological sequence data. Such biases distort phylo...

Biology is hard. Yes, even for AI.

With DNA focused almost entirely on replication, newly discovered organism blurs the line between cells and viruses

New fern transcriptomes reveal repeated whole-genome duplications, unique gene families and distinct lignocellulosic evolution, providing a comprehensive database that underscores the ancient divergen...

Land plants include angiosperms, bryophytes, lycophytes and ferns, each of which may deploy distinct strategies to resist pathogens. Here, we investigate fern-pathogen interactions by characterizing n...
