-
De Jode & Titus publish new HiFi assemblies for three clownfish-hosting sea anemones provide important resources to study the evolution of symbiosis from the host perspective
-
How do plants from different environments handle temperature extremes? Andrew et al. studied 20 Australian species and found conserved gene expression responses to heat and cold (with biome-specific differences).
-
Do signaling pathways evolve in a predictable order? Picolo et al. studied 47 pathways across 315 animal species, finding little evidence for a universal link between gene age and pathway position - this suggests stochastic pathway evolution.
-
Research led by Stephan Baehr shows liquid-phase mutation accumulation experiments can speed up mutation rate studies and better reflect real environments.
-
New paper by Lewin & Eyre-Walker finds a strong negative correlation between generation time and yearly mutation rate. This highlights generation time as a key driver of molecular evolution across eukaryote clades.
-
New paper by Howell et al. infers the demographic history of Boston Harbor’s white-footed mice, demonstrating that integrating multiple summaries of genome-wide variation enhances the temporal resolution of population history.
-
Queen–worker differences are linked to gene duplication and differential gene expression, in particular in reproductive tissues. Study by Xu & Colgan sheds light on how social insects resolve genomic conflict to produce distinct castes.
-
A large, rare, 225 kb deletion containing six snake venom metalloproteinase genes in eastern diamondback rattlesnake adds to the striking venom diversity shaped by structural variation.
-
Bacterial operons may persist in eukaryotes (e.g. fungi) after horizontal gene transfer, according to Kogay et al. Operon-derived gene pairs suggest initial neutral retention and later functional integration or degeneration.
-
Coppage et al. identify four ancient polyploidy events with unusually high duplicate gene retention. Elevated gene conversion and delayed diploidization suggest a distinct class of paleopolyploid genomes.
-
Comparative transcriptomics of nematodes C. elegans and Brugia malayi supports Ohno’s hypothesis of X-linked genes showing upregulation following Y degeneration, which depends on the dosage-sensitive gene content of proto-X.
-
New chromosome-level genome assemblies for hexaploid weeds Conyza sumatrensis and C. bonariensis. These resources will serve to inform research into evolution and management of these species.
-
New study by Chan et al. reveals the evolutionary dynamics of self-splicing introns in mitochondrial genomes of Epichloë fungi. Results support rapid intron loss and evolution of homing suppressors.
-
New graph-based tool ska lo enables reference-free detection of SNPs, indels, and variant groups from pathogen WGS data. Benchmarking shows high sensitivity, including in regions with dense mutations.
-
Armstrong et al. estimate de novo germline mutation rates across all extant Panthera species and the Clouded leopard using pedigrees. Reported rates align with other mammals, and can help refine models for phylogenetic and demographic analyses.
-
How does recurrent drug exposure shape selection in parasites? Early et al. look at French Guiana malaria genomes to show how repeat adaptation is governed by both large-effect loci and a polygenic architecture.
-
Whole-transcriptome profiling in C. briggsae and C. elegans reveals a post-reproductive shift in gene expression, indicating a dynamic regulation of aging-associated pathways linked to reproduction.

"The Contribution of High-Skilled Immigrants to Innovation in the United States"
#NewPaperAlert by Bernstein et al. —> https://www.nber.org/papers/w30797 #LaborEcon
Novel strategy for causal identification traces the effects of premature deaths of #immigrant inventors on innovation by the colleagues they leave behind.
Most of the effect of #immigration on innovation, they find, is spillovers to others! Not innovation *by* immigrants.

From 1850 to 1880, the Paris Salon was the leading visual #arts exhibition venue in #France.
The paper quantitatively analyzes which elements, including #nepotism and #sexism, drove the likelihood of winning a medal.

I wrote another (and probably final) paper on the remote generation of Wigner negativity and its connection to quantum steering.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.14102
The main goal of the paper is to tie up the loose ends and to provide some insights that might be useful for future research on quantum correlations in continuous variable systems. It was mainly written during free moments, so the editing might not yet be optimal...

Uncertainty about the inner workings of #machinelearning models holds back the application of ML-enabled systems in real estate markets. How do ML models arrive at their estimates?
How can practitioners guarantee that ML systems do not run afoul of the law?Wayne Wan and I show how ML systems can be externally tested with dedicated system tests (as commonly done in software development).
