Structural variation (SV) is a large difference (typically> 100 bp) in the genomic structure of
two genomes and includes both copy number variation and variation that does not change …

Mobile elements and repetitive genomic regions are sources of lineage-specific genomic
innovation and uniquely fingerprint individual genomes. Comprehensive analyses of such …

The oral microbiome plays key roles in human biology, health, and disease, but little is
known about the global diversity, variation, or evolution of this microbial community. To …

Nervous systems allow animals to acutely respond and behaviorally adapt to changes and
recurring patterns in their environment at multiple timescales—from milliseconds to years …

Venom is a complex trait with substantial inter-and intraspecific variability resulting from
strong selective pressures acting on the expression of many toxic proteins. However …

Fat, protein and carbohydrate are essential macronutrients. Various organisations have
made recommendations as to the energy contribution that each of these components makes …

The adoption of agriculture triggered a rapid shift towards starch-rich diets in human
populations. Amylase genes facilitate starch digestion, and increased amylase copy number …

Salivary proteins are essential for maintaining health in the oral cavity and proximal
digestive tract, and they serve as potential diagnostic markers for monitoring human health …

Whole-genome duplication (WGD) followed by speciation allows us to examine the parallel
evolution of ohnolog pairs. In the yeast family Saccharomycetaceae, HRR25 is a rare case …

Although cases of independent adaptation to the same dietary niche have been
documented in mammalian ecology, the molecular correlates of such shifts are seldom …
