Driven by co‐evolution with pathogens, host immunity continuously adapts to optimize
defence against pathogens within a given environment. Recent advances in genetics …

Predicting gene expression divergence is integral to understanding the emergence of new
biological functions and associated traits. Whereas several sophisticated methods have …

Honeybees play a major role in crop pollination, which supports the agricultural economy
and international food supply. The colony health of honeybees is threatened by the parasitic …

Hybrid resequencing of the antibacterial innate immune genes coding for toll-like receptors,
namely TLR1, TLR2, TLR4, TLR5, and TLR6, using HiSeq and PacBio technologies of …

Studies of allele-specific expression in interspecific hybrids have provided important insights
into gene-regulatory divergence and hybrid incompatibilities. Many such investigations in …

Pan-genomics and genome editing technologies are revolutionizing the breeding of globally
cultivated crops. A transformative opportunity lies in the reciprocal exchange of genotype-to …

Pathogens cause disease and play an important role in sha** evolution of the host
immune system. They create pressure on host immunity to evolve in numerous ways, most …

Predicting gene expression divergence and its evolutionary parameters is integral to
understanding the emergence of new gene functions and associated traits. Whereas several …

The general aim of the work was to document the variation in the genes of the Toll signalling
pathway in the innate immune system of cattle. This included the analysis of the potential of …

The evolution of transcriptomes has been linked to the emergence of novel phenotypes.
However, our knowledge on how isoform diversity has impacted recent human evolution is …
