Cis-regulatory sequences, such as enhancers and promoters, control development and
physiology by regulating gene expression. Mutations that affect the function of these …

There is abundant variation in gene expression between individuals, populations, and
species. The evolution of gene regulation and expression within and between species is …

Hybridization has many and varied impacts on the process of speciation. Hybridization may
slow or reverse differentiation by allowing gene flow and recombination. It may accelerate …

Understanding the genetic regulatory code governing gene expression is an important
challenge in molecular biology. However, how individual coding and non-coding regions of …

Heterosis, also known as hybrid vigour, is widespread in plants and animals, but the
molecular bases for this phenomenon remain elusive. Recent studies in hybrids and …

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum, genome BBAADD) is a young hexaploid species formed
only 8,500–9,000 years ago through hybridization between a domesticated free-threshing …

We summarize, in this review, the evidence that genomic balance influences gene
expression, quantitative traits, dosage compensation, aneuploid syndromes, population …

Recent years have seen intensive progress in measuring protein translation. However, the
contributions of coding sequences to the efficiency of the process remain unclear. Here, we …

The hypothesis that differences in gene regulation have an important role in speciation and
adaptation is more than 40 years old. With the advent of new sequencing technologies, we …

Heterosis refers to the phenomenon that progeny of diverse varieties of a species or crosses
between species exhibit greater biomass, speed of development, and fertility than both …
