Redundant and Specific Roles of Individual MIR172 Genes in Plant Development
Published in PLoS Biology
In plants, conserved microRNAs tend to be encoded by gene families with multiple members. This Primer explores the implications of two recent studies that interrogated the functions of the five-member MIR172 family in Arabidopsis, revealing complexities and intricacies of the gene regulatory networks underlying floral transition.
Anti-science kills: From Soviet embrace of pseudoscience to accelerated attacks on US biomedicine
Published in PLoS Biology
This Essay argues that COVID-19 exposed how a rising tide of anti-science rhetoric and activities can dramatically exploit society's vulnerabilities to an infectious disease, suggesting that anti-science extremism has become as big a threat as the virus itself.
The evolution of group differences in changing environments
Published in PLoS Biology
This Essay discusses how complex traits may evolve under selection to maintain trait values in the face of changing environments; this scenario has implications for interpreting genetic differences between groups and signals of adaptation.
