Molecular mechanisms of adaptive evolution in wild animals and plants
Wild animals and plants have developed a variety of adaptive traits driven by adaptive
evolution, an important strategy for species survival and persistence. Uncovering the …

Lipases: it's not just pancreatic lipase!
SY Lim, JM Steiner, H Cridge - American journal of veterinary …, 2022 - Am Vet Med Assoc
Lipases are water-soluble enzymes that hydrolyze water-insoluble lipid molecules, such as
triglycerides, phospholipids, and galactolipids. They are ubiquitous in nature and are …

Integrating gene annotation with orthology inference at scale
Annotating coding genes and inferring orthologs are two classical challenges in genomics
and evolutionary biology that have traditionally been approached separately, limiting …

Genes lost during the transition from land to water in cetaceans highlight genomic changes associated with aquatic adaptations
The transition from land to water in whales and dolphins (cetaceans) was accompanied by
remarkable adaptations. To reveal genomic changes that occurred during this transition, we …

Gene losses in the common vampire bat illuminate molecular adaptations to blood feeding
Vampire bats are the only mammals that feed exclusively on blood. To uncover genomic
changes associated with this dietary adaptation, we generated a haplotype-resolved …

A cross-sectional study of owner-reported health in Canadian and American cats fed meat-and plant-based diets
SAS Dodd, C Dewey, D Khosa, A Verbrugghe - BMC Veterinary Research, 2021 - Springer
Background Cats, being obligate carnivores, have unique dietary requirements for nutrients
most commonly found in dietary ingredients of animal origin. As such, feeding a diet devoid …

Convergent and lineage-specific genomic differences in limb regulatory elements in limbless reptile lineages
Loss of limbs evolved many times in squamate reptiles. Here we investigated the genomic
basis of convergent limb loss in reptiles. We sequenced the genomes of a closely related …
