Journal ArticleDOI

Daehee Hwang,Daehee Hwang,Inyoul Lee,Hyuntae Yoo,Nils Gehlenborg,Nils Gehlenborg,Ji-Hoon Cho,Brianne O. Petritis,David Baxter,Rose Pitstick,Rebecca L. Young,Doug Spicer,Nathan D. Price,John G. Hohmann,Stephen J. DeArmond,George A. Carlson,Leroy Hood +16 more
TL;DR: This work tracked global gene expression in the brains of eight distinct mouse strain–prion strain combinations throughout the progression of the disease to capture the effects of prion strain, host genetics, and PrP concentration on disease incubation time and suggests some possible therapeutic approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution on a local scale: developmental, functional, and genetic bases of divergence in bill form and associated changes in song structure between adjacent habitats.
TL;DR: The results suggest that divergent selection on function and development of traits involved in production of mating signals, in combination with localized learning of such signals, can be very effective at maintaining local adaptations, even at small spatial scales and in highly mobile animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactome Analyses Identify Ties of PrPC and Its Mammalian Paralogs to Oligomannosidic N-Glycans and Endoplasmic Reticulum-Derived Chaperones
Joel C. Watts,Hairu Huo,Yu Bai,Sepehr Ehsani,Amy Hye Won Jeon,Tujin Shi,Nathalie Daude,Agnes Lau,Rebecca L. Young,Lei Xu,George A. Carlson,David E. Williams,David Westaway,Gerold Schmitt-Ulms +13 more
TL;DR: A simple hypothesis is presented which accounts for the majority of interactions observed in uninfected cells and suggests that PrPC organizes its molecular environment on account of its ability to bind to adhesion molecules harboring immunoglobulin-like domains, which in turn recognize oligomannose-bearing membrane proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of sex-biased maternal effects in birds: I. Sex-specific resource allocation among simultaneously growing oocytes
TL;DR: A mechanism for sex‐biased allocation of maternal resources during egg formation is provided and insights into the timing of the sex‐determining meiotic division in relation to ovulation in this species of house finches are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of Morphological Integration: Developmental Accommodation of Stress‐Induced Variation
TL;DR: Developmental accommodation of stress‐induced variation might enable the individual’s functioning and persistence under extreme environmental conditions and thus provides a link between individual adaptation to stress and the evolution of stress resistance.
