Regulation of gene expression plays a central role in adaptive divergence and evolution.
Although the role of gene regulation in microevolutionary processes is gaining wide …

Sarcopenia is a common musculoskeletal disorder characterized by degenerative
processes and is strongly linked to an increased susceptibility to falls, fractures, physical …

Understanding the contribution of different molecular processes to evolution and
development is crucial for identifying the mechanisms of adaptation. Here, we used RNA …

Animals consume a wide variety of food sources to adapt to different environments.
However, the genetic mechanisms underlying the acquisition of evolutionarily novel feeding …

Introduction Nutritional support is potentially considered an essential step to prevent muscle
loss and enhance physical function in older adults. Objectives This study aimed to assess …

Populations may adapt to similar environments via parallel or non‐parallel genetic changes,
but the frequency of these alternative mechanisms and underlying contributing factors are …

Estimating the complex relationship between fitness and genotype or phenotype (ie the
adaptive landscape) is one of the central goals of evolutionary biology. However, adaptive …

Interspecific breeding in cotton takes advantage of genetic recombination among desirable
genes from different parental lines. However, the expression new alleles (ENAs) from …

Understanding the genetic basis of novel adaptations in new species is a fundamental
question in biology. Here we demonstrate a new role for galr2 in vertebrate craniofacial …

Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of a single genotype to vary its phenotype in response to
the environment. Plasticity of the skeletal system in response to mechanical input is widely …
