Sex differences in diseases involving oxidative and proteolytic stress are common, including
greater ischemic heart disease, Parkinson disease and stroke in men, and greater …

Some corals may become more resistant to bleaching by shuffling their Symbiodiniaceae
communities toward thermally tolerant species, and manipulations to boost the abundance …

In eukaryotic cells, mitochondria originated in an α-proteobacterial endosymbiont. Although
these organelles harbor their own genome, the large majority of genes, originally encoded …

Mitochondria perform an array of functions, many of which involve interactions with gene
products encoded by the nucleus. These mitochondrial functions, particularly those involving …

Background Patterns of gene expression can be dramatically different between males and
females of the same species, in part due to genes on sex chromosomes. Here we test for sex …

Impaired mitochondrial function can lead to senescence and the ageing phenotype. Theory
predicts degenerative ageing phenotypes and mitochondrial pathologies may occur more …

The glutathione S-transferase (GST) is a complex family of phase II detoxification enzymes,
known for their ability to catalyze the conjugation of the reduced form of glutathione (GSH) to …

Strict maternal inheritance of mitochondria favours the evolutionary accumulation of sex-
biased fitness effects, as mitochondrial evolution occurs exclusively in female lineages. The …

The abundance of the black sea urchin, Arbacia lixula, has been increasing during the last
decades likely related to global warming. This thermophilous species has a leading role in …

Hybridization produces a range of outcomes from advantageous to disadvantageous, and a
goal of genetic research is to understand the gene interactions that generate these …
