  1. ....While the history of mammalian diet may help explain the stronger relationship with gene evolutionary rates as carnivory score decreases, it does not explain why the signal of evolutionary constraint was much weaker than relaxation in this direction of dietary change (Supplemental Fig. S2; Supplemental Tables S3–S6...
  2. ...disease susceptibility. This approach goes beyond characterizing gene regulatory variation in static, postmortem tissue and opens new avenues for studying GxE interactions in a controlled, in vitro setting.ResultsWe differentiated brain organoids from the induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) of 21...
  3. ...proteins. Correspondingly, Ago2 cKO males show abnormal sperm head morphology and reduced sperm count, along with reduced postnatal viability of offspring. Together, our data reveal an unexpected nuclear role for AGO2 in enhancing expression of developmentally important genes during mammalian male...
  4. ..., and on average, each treatment revealed new expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) at 11% of genes. Across our experiments, 22% of all identified eQTLs were context-dependent, and this group was enriched for trait- and disease-associated loci. Further, evolutionary analyses suggested that positive selection...
  5. ...the birth of novel genes and shape the evolution and the structural diversity of proteins remains unclear. Therefore, by combining different bioinformatic approaches, we characterized the fold potential diversity of the amino acid sequences encoded by all intergenic open reading frames (ORFs) of S...
  6. .... In expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) mapping, gene expression levels are tested for associations with genetic markers to identify variants that contribute to expression phenotypes. Expression quantitative trait mapping is an effective method for identifying regulatory variants because gene expression...
  7. ...using nonoptimal study designs and analysis approaches. In addition, when samples from multiple tissues were studied in a comparative framework, individuals and tissues were confounded. We designed a multitissue comparative study of gene expression and DNA methylation in primates that minimizes...
  8. ...and species showed that the main source of gene expression variability was attributed to differences among tissues rather than species identity (Fig. 1A). This finding was confirmed quantitatively by between-groups PCA. While the variance associated with tissue identity was 86%, only a nonsignificant...
  9. ...species and/or limited sequence data sets. We analyzed more than 1000 orthologous genes in 33 fully sequenced mammalian genomes, reconstructed their ancestral isochore organization in the maximum likelihood framework, and explored the evolution of third-codon position GC content in representatives of 16...
  10. ...elements (TEs), in contrast to other mammalian groups, such as primates, that had a higher percentage of intrachromosomal rearrangements in their recent evolutionary history (Kim et al. 2017).View larger version: In this window In a new window Figure 1. Phylogenetic tree of the species and reconstructed...
