New paper from our group by Christina Harvey in Proceedings B @royalsocietypublishing.org on the fascinatingly, unexpectedly complex evolution of vertebrate skeletal muscle myosins. Thanks to collaborators Matt Fuxjager, Eric Schuppe, and Michael Brainard. royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...

Longevity in plants impacts phylogenetic and population dynamics
Phylogenies of long-lived plants often exhibit short molecular branch lengths and high levels of gene-tree conflict. However, the biological mechanisms underlying these patterns remain unclear. We e.....

Congrats to (newly graduated) Dr. Ellen Weinheimer for her new publication in @theplantjournal.bsky.social on drought responses in the iconic umbrella acacia of the African savannas using a "differential gene reaction" analysis developed for this project onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/....

Differential gene reactions reveal drought response strategies in African acacias
We studied the genetic basis of drought response in two well-known and widespread species of African acacia by analyzing gene expression reactions across a water deprivation experiment using a newly ...

Deep-time gene expression shift reveals an ancient change in avian muscle phenotypes
Author Summary Duplicated genes adopt different functional relationships that can directly influence physiological processes. Calsequestrin-1 and calsequestrin-2 are two similar proteins expressed fro...
