Cryptic species and hybridisation in corals: challenges and opportunities for conservation and restoration by Riginos, Cynthia, Popovic, Iva, Meziere, Zoe, Garcia, Vhon, Byrne, Ilha, Howitt, Samantha M., Ishida, Hisatake, Bairos-Novak, Kevin, Humanes, Adriana, Scharfenstein, Hugo, Richards, Thomas, Briggs, Ethan, Clark, Vanessa, Lei, Chuan, Khan, Mariam, Prata, Katharine E.

“…Here, we investigate the prevalence of cryptic coral groups and assess evidence for their permeability to gene flow (hybridisation) via a structured literature review of genomic studies. Using reproducible criteria to detect distinct genetic groups that are sympatric, we find that 68% of nominal species represented in population genomic studies show evidence for comprising partially reproductively isolated groups and that these distinct groups are often linked by gene flow. …”

Co-obligate symbioses have repeatedly evolved across aphids, but partner identity and nutritional contributions vary across lineages by Manzano-Marín, Alejandro, Coeur d’acier, Armelle, Clamens, Anne-Laure, Cruaud, Corinne, Barbe, Valérie, Jousselin, Emmanuelle

“…Lastly, patterns of Buchnera genome evolution reveal that small losses affecting a few key genes can be the onset of these dual systems, while large gene losses can occur without any co-obligate symbiont acquisition. …”

Chromatin remodeling (SWI/SNF) complexes, cancer, and response to immunotherapy by Razelle Kurzrock, Shumei Kato, Nithya Krishnamurthy, Scott Lippman

“…Significantly, ~20% of malignancies harbor alterations in >1 of these subunits, making the genes encoding SWI/SNF family members among the most vulnerable to genomic aberrations in cancer. ARID1A is the largest subunit of the SWI/SNF complex and is altered in ~40%–50% of ovarian clear cell cancers and ~15%–30% of cholangiocarcinomas, in addition to a variety of other malignancies. …”

Polygenic prediction of human longevity on the supposition of pervasive pleiotropy by M. Reza Jabalameli, Jhih-Rong Lin, Quanwei Zhang, Zhen Wang, Joydeep Mitra, Nha Nguyen, Tina Gao, Mark Khusidman, Sanish Sathyan, Gil Atzmon, Sofiya Milman, Jan Vijg, Nir Barzilai, Zhengdong D. Zhang

“…We showed that coefficients derived from our ensemble model could potentially reveal an interesting pattern of genomic pleiotropy specific to lifespan. We assessed the predictive performance of our model for distinguishing the enrichment of exceptional longevity among long-lived individuals in two replication cohorts (the Scripps Wellderly cohort and the Medical Genome Reference Bank (MRGB)) and showed that the median lifespan in the highest decile of our composite prognostic index is up to 4.8 years longer. …”

“…We first apply this covariate-corrected biclustering algorithm to a cohort of 2524 BD cases and 4106 controls from the Bipolar Disease Research Network (BDRN) within the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC). We find evidence of genetic heterogeneity delineating a statistically significant bicluster comprising a subset of BD cases which exhibits a disease-specific pattern of differential-expression across a subset of SNPs. …”
