    • Characterizing the Infection-Induced Transcriptome of Nasonia vitripennis Reveals a Preponderance of Taxonomically-Restricted Immune Genes 

      Sackton, Timothy B.; Werren, John H.; Clark, Andrew G. (Public Library of Science, 2013)
      The innate immune system in insects consists of a conserved core signaling network and rapidly diversifying effector and recognition components, often containing a high proportion of taxonomically-restricted genes. In the ...

    • Female Behaviour Drives Expression and Evolution of Gustatory Receptors in Butterflies 

      Briscoe, Adriana D.; Macias-Muñoz, Aide; Kozak, Krzysztof M.; Walters, James R.; Yuan, Furong; Jamie, Gabriel A.; Martin, Simon H.; Dasmahapatra, Kanchon K.; Ferguson, Laura C.; Mallet, James; Jacquin-Joly, Emmanuelle; Jiggins, Chris D. (Public Library of Science, 2013)
      Secondary plant compounds are strong deterrents of insect oviposition and feeding, but may also be attractants for specialist herbivores. These insect-plant interactions are mediated by insect gustatory receptors (Grs) and ...

    • Genomic Variation and Its Impact on Gene Expression in Drosophila Melanogaster 

      Massouras, Andreas; Waszak, Sebastian M.; Albarca-Aguilera, Monica; Hens, Korneel; Holcombe, Wiebke; Ayroles, Julien; Dermitzakis, Emmanouil T.; Stone, Eric A.; Jensen, Jeffrey D.; Mackay, Trudy F. C.; Deplancke, Bart (Public Library of Science, 2012)
      Understanding the relationship between genetic and phenotypic variation is one of the great outstanding challenges in biology. To meet this challenge, comprehensive genomic variation maps of human as well as of model ...

    • Loss and Recovery of Genetic Diversity in Adapting Populations of HIV 

      Pennings, Pleuni S.; Kryazhimskiy, Sergey; Wakeley, John (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      The evolution of drug resistance in HIV occurs by the fixation of specific, well-known, drug-resistance mutations, but the underlying population genetic processes are not well understood. By analyzing within-patient ...
