Relationship Between the Host Plant Range of Insects and Symbiont Bacteria by Doudou Ge, Chongwen Yin, Jiayu Jing, Zhihong Li, Lijun Liu

“…In light of these findings, this study proposes the hypothesis that exclusive or closely related plant hosts provide monophagy and oligophagy with a stable core colony over long evolutionary periods. The core flora is closely associated with host adaptations in monophagous and oligophagous tephritids, including nutritional and detoxification functions. …”

Pervasive horizontal transmission of Wolbachia in natural populations of closely related and widespread tropical skipper butterflies by Pedro Ribeiro, Anzhelika Butenko, Daniel Linke, Hamid Reza Ghanavi, Joana Isabel Meier, Niklas Wahlberg, Pável Matos-Maraví

“…Abstract Background The endosymbiotic relationship between Wolbachia bacteria and insects has been of interest for many years due to their diverse types of host reproductive phenotypic manipulation and potential role in the host’s evolutionary history and population dynamics. Even though infection rates are high in Lepidoptera and specifically in butterflies, and reproductive manipulation is present in these taxa, less attention has been given to understanding how Wolbachia is acquired and maintained in their natural populations, across and within species having continental geographical distributions. …”

Systematically developing a registry of splice-site creating variants utilizing massive publicly available transcriptome sequence data by Naoko Iida, Ai Okada, Yoshihisa Kobayashi, Kenichi Chiba, Yasushi Yatabe, Yuichi Shiraishi

“…By utilizing this extensive collection of SSCVs, we reveal the characteristics of Alu exonization via SSCVs, especially the hotspots of SSCVs within Alu sequences and their evolutionary relationships. We discover novel gain-of-function SSCVs in the deep intronic region of the NOTCH1 gene and demonstrate that their activation can be suppressed using splice-switching ASOs. …”

Steganography in Game Actions by Ching-Chun Chang, Isao Echizen

“…However, the field faces a fundamental paradox: as the art of concealment advances, so too does the science of revelation, leading to an ongoing evolutionary interplay. This study seeks to extend the boundaries of what is considered a viable steganographic medium. …”

Deciphering regulatory architectures of bacterial promoters from synthetic expression patterns. by Rosalind Wenshan Pan, Tom Röschinger, Kian Faizi, Hernan G Garcia, Rob Phillips

“…Without such knowledge, it is not possible to perform a quantitative theory-experiment dialogue on how such genes give rise to physiological and evolutionary adaptation. One category of high-throughput experiments used to understand the sequence-phenotype relationship of the transcriptome is massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs). …”
