Fingerprints of surface flows on solid substrates ablated by phase change: from laboratory experiments to planetary landscapes by Carpy, Sabrina, Berhanu, Michael, Chaigne, Martin, Courrech du Pont, Sylvain

“…The scale of these landscapes contrasts with the scale of the physical mechanisms that govern their evolutionary dynamics. Indeed, it is the typical size of atmospheric boundary layers or meltwater/vapor/solute films that constrain the heat/concentration transfer at the phase change/dissolution interface, and hence the rate of solid ablation. …”

Template switching during DNA replication is a prevalent source of adaptive gene amplification by Julie N Chuong, Nadav Ben Nun, Ina Suresh, Julia Cano Matthews, Titir De, Grace Avecilla, Farah Abdul-Rahman, Nathan Brandt, Yoav Ram, David Gresham

“…Whereas point mutation rates vary with genomic location and local DNA features, the role of genome architecture in the formation and evolutionary dynamics of CNVs is poorly understood. Previously, we found the GAP1 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae undergoes frequent amplification and selection in glutamine-limitation. …”

Novel H16N3 avian influenza viruses isolated from migratory gulls in China in 2023 by Peng Peng, Peng Peng, Peng Peng, Jinyan Shen, Wenjun Shi, Jing Guo, Mengjing Wang, Wenxi Li, Zhiqin Yue, Xiaohong Sun, Mengdi Guan, Lili Liu, Hongke Xu, Yujiao Xie, Anran Ren, Mingfeng Liu, Wenqiang Liu, Zhibin Zhang, Zhibin Zhang, Zhishu Xiao, Zhishu Xiao, Xuyong Li

“…The low prevalence of H16 viruses has limited our understanding of their epidemiology and evolutionary dynamics. In this study, we isolated three novel H16N3 viruses from migratory gulls in East Asian–Australasian Flyway in eastern China in 2023, which are significantly different from previously identified isolates. …”

Cancer phylogenetic tree inference at scale from 1000s of single cell genomes by Salehi, Sohrab, Dorri, Fatemeh, Chern, Kevin, Kabeer, Farhia, Rusk, Nicole, Funnell, Tyler, Williams, Marc J., Lai, Daniel, Andronescu, Mirela, Campbell, Kieran R., McPherson, Andrew, Aparicio, Samuel, Roth, Andrew, Shah, Sohrab P., Bouchard-Côté, Alexandre

“…A new generation of scalable single cell whole genome sequencing (scWGS) methods allows unprecedented high resolution measurement of the evolutionary dynamics of cancer cell populations. Phylogenetic reconstruction is central to identifying sub-populations and distinguishing the mutational processes that gave rise to them. …”

Cryptic species and hybridisation in corals: challenges and opportunities for conservation and restoration by Riginos, Cynthia, Popovic, Iva, Meziere, Zoe, Garcia, Vhon, Byrne, Ilha, Howitt, Samantha M., Ishida, Hisatake, Bairos-Novak, Kevin, Humanes, Adriana, Scharfenstein, Hugo, Richards, Thomas, Briggs, Ethan, Clark, Vanessa, Lei, Chuan, Khan, Mariam, Prata, Katharine E.

“…This hidden biodiversity creates challenges for coral conservation and restoration planning that are not well appreciated, including hiding true population declines, biasing estimates for species’ phenotypic breadth, overestimating the resilience of species to stressors, yielding uncertainty in evolutionary dynamics inferred from past studies, and implying that reproductive barriers may limit mating between local and translocated corals. …”
