ABSTRACT The Jacques Monod Conference on 'Growth and regeneration during
development and aging'was organized by Claude Desplan and Allison Bardin in May 2023 …

Although genes with similar expression patterns are sometimes found in the same genomic
regions, almost nothing is known about the relative organization in genomes of genes and …

For understanding the evolutionary mechanism of sexually selected exaggerated traits, it is
essential to uncover its molecular basis. By using broad-horned flour beetle that has male …

Key innovations enable access to new adaptive zones and are often linked to increased
species diversification. As such, innovations have attracted much attention, yet their concrete …

The patterns of reproductive timing and senescence vary within and across species owing to
differences in reproductive strategies, but our understanding of the molecular underpinnings …
