Frequent asymmetric migrations suppress natural selection in spatially structured populations
Anne-Florence Raphaëlle Bitbol, Alia Abbara
Natural microbial populations often have complex spatial structures. This can impact their evolution, in particular the ability of mutants to take over. While mutant fixation probabilities are known to be unaffected by sufficiently symmetric structures, ev ...
Oxford2023A cell fitness selection model for neuronal survival during development
Developmental cell death plays an important role in the construction of functional neural circuits. In vertebrates, the canonical view proposes a selection of the surviving neurons through stochastic competition for target-derived neurotrophic signals, imp ...
2019Drosophila melanogaster cloak their eggs with pheromones, which prevents cannibalism
Yury Tsybin, Laure Menin, Konstantin Nagornov
Oviparous animals across many taxa have evolved diverse strategies that deter egg predation, providing valuable tests of how natural selection mitigates direct fitness loss. Communal egg laying in nonsocial species minimizes egg predation. However, in cann ...
PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE2019Mitocellular communication: Shaping health and disease
Johan Auwerx, Sébastien Robert Victor Herzig, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis
Throughout the animal kingdom, mitochondria are the only organelles that retain their own genome and the transcription and translation machineries that are all essential for energy harvesting. Mitochondria have developed a complex communication network, al ...
AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE2019Vancomycin resistance plasmids affect persistence of Enterococcus faecium in water
Vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) cause 20,000 infections annually in the United States, most of which are nosocomial. Recent findings of VRE in sewage-contaminated surface waters demonstrate an alternate route of human exposure, and a possible settin ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2019Maternal allocation of carotenoids increases tolerance to bacterial infection in brown trout
Life-history theory predicts that iteroparous females allocate their resources differently among different breeding seasons depending on their residual reproductive value. In iteroparous salmonids there is typically much variation in egg size, egg number, ...
Springer2017Optimization of Conformational Dynamics in an Epistatic Evolutionary Trajectory
The understanding of protein evolution depends on the ability to relate the impact of mutations on molecular traits to organismal fitness. Biological activity and robustness have been regarded as important features in shaping protein evolutionary landscape ...
Oxford Univ Press2016On Non-cooperative Genomic Privacy
Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mathias Jacques Jean-Marc Humbert, Amalio Telenti, Erman Ayday
Over the last few years, the vast progress in genome sequencing has highly increased the availability of genomic data. Today, individuals can obtain their digital genomic sequences at reasonable prices from many online service providers. Individuals can st ...
2015Interdependent Privacy Games: The Case of Genomics
Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mathias Jacques Jean-Marc Humbert, Amalio Telenti, Erman Ayday
Over the last few years, the vast progress in genome sequencing has highly increased the availability of genomic data. Today, individuals can obtain their digital genomic sequences at reasonable prices from many online service providers. Individuals can st ...
2015Molecular Mechanism of Flocculation Self-Recognition in Yeast and Its Role in Mating and Survival
Sandor Kasas, Livan Bladimir Alonso Sarduy, Jens Nielsen
We studied the flocculation mechanism at the molecular level by determining the atomic structures of N-Flo1p and N-Lg-Flo1p in complex with their ligands. We show that they have similar ligand binding mechanisms but distinct carbohydrate specificities and ...
