Study on the Typological Chronology of Cantonese Palatial-Type (Diantang Shi) Timber Structures in Guangdong Province, China: An Interdisciplinary Approach of Building Archaeology by Yunan Ren

“…As a result, 20 cases are dated in the Ming and Qing dynasties with 12 structural elements rapidly evolving, substantiating periodization of Cantonese palatial-type timber construction into three evolutionary phases. Periodization further facilitates the identification of two dramatic structural variations in the second phase, revealing Hakka–Cantonese cultural transmission and political intervention as two different socio-cultural mechanisms underpinning architectural transformations. …”

Genomic Analysis of Antimicrobial Resistance in <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> from a “One Health” Perspective by Celia García-Rivera, Carmen Molina-Pardines, José M. Haro-Moreno, Mónica Parra Grande, Juan Carlos Rodríguez, Mario López-Pérez

“…This perspective is of particular importance in the study of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>, as it is not only a pathogen that affects humans but also persists in environmental reservoirs. To assess evolutionary selection for niche-specific traits, a genomic comparison of 749 <i>P. aeruginosa</i> strains from three environments (clinical, aquatic, and soil) was performed. …”

Mutations of short tandem repeats explain abundant trait heritability in Arabidopsis by Zhi-Qin Zhang, Juan Jiang, Yong-Chao Xu, Craig Dent, Sridevi Sureshkumar, Sureshkumar Balasubramanian, Ya-Long Guo

“…Notably, based on analysis of the expression levels of 24,175 genes and splice site strength values of 12,784 splice sites, as well as 16 phenotypes of natural A. thaliana populations, we determine the similar average heritability of these three trait sets explained by STR variation. Conclusions Our results reveal the evolutionary dynamics of STRs, and highlight the importance of STR variation as an important contributor to missing heritability in regulating complex traits.…”

Kosakovsky Pond, Aaron Davis, Devin D. Bloom, Ricardo Betancur-R

“…Here, we generate and analyze one long-read reference genome and 66 short-read whole genome assemblies, in conjunction with genomic data for 54 additional species. We investigate how three major ecological transitions have shaped genomic variation among ariids over their ~ 50 million-year evolutionary history. …”
