TL;DR: Natural killer cells mediate acute rejection of bone marrow, but not solid tissue, allografts in lethally irradiated mice, providing insights as to their physiological roles and points the way to potential clinical uses following BMT.

TL;DR: The phylogenetic relationships of 16 northern species of the aplocheiloid genus Rivulus inhabiting the Caribbean, Central America, and South America suggest that the extant Central American taxa represent the descendants of at least two separate invasions during the Cenozoic, prior to the closing of the Panamanian isthmus.

TL;DR: An alternative, highly supported interpretation of the evolutionary history of the pantherine lineage is provided using novel and published DNA sequence data from the autosomes, both sex chromosomes and the mitochondrial genome, which yields a robust consensus topology supporting the monophyly of lion and leopard, with jaguar sister to these species, as well as a sister species relationship of tiger and snow leopard.

TL;DR: It is concluded that existing phylogenomic approaches to infer the Tree of Life may be highly misleading without considering the genomic architecture of phylogenetic signal relative to recombination rate and its interplay with historical hybridization.

TL;DR: The discovery of four novel Y chromosome genes that do not have functional copies in the finished human male-specific region of the Y or on other mammalian Y chromosomes explored thus far demonstrates the gene novelty on this chromosome between mammalian orders.
