Changes in insect diversity and abundance can affect vertebrates but understanding these consequences relies on having rich information about vertebrate–insect interactions. This Review summarizes the...

Heredity - The analysis of minor taxa highlights the role of the environment and phylogeny in the distribution of the LTR-retrotransposon Copia clades

Memo to our friends (and yes, our enemies) to the south: the problem isn’t just Donald Trump. It’s you

Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus features chemical signatures consistent with an alkaline soda ocean with H2 production via hydrothermal water-rock reactions. Chemolithoautotrophic methanogenesis is thermo...

Key message A previously unrecognized MULE1+MULE2 structural haplotype at CsMYB60 was identified and associated with mature peel coloration in cucumber. Abstract Peel color is a major commercial and p...

Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) inhibition represents a promising therapeutic strategy in cancers that disrupts RNA polymerase II pause release and collapses oncogenic transcripts. Here, we show that...

Transposable elements mobilize within and occasionally between genomes, including from host to virus. We identified two insertions of the human BC200 noncoding RNA gene in the poxvirus molluscum conta...

Transposable elements (TEs) are key contributors to genome evolution, yet their macroevolutionary roles in adaptive radiations remain poorly understood, as high-quality genomic resources at sufficient...

This month's ERGA BioGenome Analysis & Applications Seminar will feature talks by Emile Gluck-Thaler and Aaron Vogan on the recently discovered Starship giant transposons and their implications for…

An updated phylogeny of bats is presented, based on new genome assemblies and many ancient fossils and including all known bat families.

2nd-6th November 2026 To foster international participation, this course will be held online

Emerging infectious disease outbreak risks are ubiquitous worldwide, and highest in landscapes where people, livestock and fragmented natural ecosystems coexist, but detection and data ...

Abstract. Transposable elements (TEs) pose a persistent threat to genome stability, and host organisms have consequently evolved sophisticated defense mech

Climate change is a global threat that is already impacting populations and species across diverse ecosystems. Local adaptation of populations, identified through genotype-environment association, can...

Despite an extensive history of study, quantitative constraints on the thermophysiology of Tyrannosaurus rex remain limited. Here, we derive a thermodynamically based determination of T. rex body temp...

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Wednesday proposed opening a path for Canada to become the European Union's first associate member, a striking overture as U.S. President Donald T...

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has proposed opening a path for Canada to become the European Union's first associate member, a status that doesn't currently exist.
