H6 avian influenza virus (AIV) is one of the most prevalent AIV subtypes in birds globally. To investigate the current situation and characteristics of H6 AIVs circulating in China, we analysed the epidemiology, genetic evolution and pathogenic features of this subtype. During 2000-2021, H6 subtype AIVs spread widely through Southern China and pres...

Recent studies have shown that correlations between chromatin modifications and transcription vary among eukaryotes. This is the case for marked differences between the chromatin of the moss Physcomitrium patens and the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha. Mosses and liverworts diverged from hornworts, altogether forming the lineage of bryophytes that ...

In the Anthropocene, human activities have been a dominant force affecting wildlife, natural habitats, and climate worldwide. Over time, increasing incidences of wildlife-human 2 interactions may have positive outcomes for some generalist species, but studies continue to uncover that most predictably these generalist wild species also suffer from s...

The raison d'être of meiosis is shuffling of genetic information via Mendelian segregation and, within individual chromosomes, by DNA crossing-over. These outcomes are enabled by a complex cellular program in which interactions between homologous chromosomes play a central role. We first provide a background regarding the basic principles of this p...

Bacterial leaf streak, bacterial blight, and black chaff caused by Xanthomonas translucens pathovars are major diseases affecting small grains. Xanthomonas translucens pv. translucens and X. translucens pv. undulosa are seedborne pathogens that cause similar symptoms on barley, but only X. translucens pv. undulosa causes bacterial leaf streak of wh...

Plants adapted to challenging environments offer fascinating models of evolutionary change. Importantly, they also give information to meet our pressing need to develop resilient, low-input crops. With mounting environmental fluctuation-including temperature, rainfall, and soil salinity and degradation-this is more urgent than ever. Happily, soluti...

Cells forming malignant tumors are distinguished from those forming normal tissues based on several features: accelerated/dysregulated cell division, disruption of physiologic apoptosis, maturation/differentiation arrest, loss of polarity, and invasive potential. Among them, accelerated cell division and differentiation arrest make tumor cells simi...

Understanding the links between development and evolution is one of the major challenges of biology. ‘Heterochronies’, evolutionary alterations in the timings of development are posited as a key mechanism of evolutionary change, but their quantification requires gross simplification of organismal development. Consequently, how changes in event timi...
