Most animal species pack sperm DNA with protamines instead of histones. Protamines are essential for male fertility. They are among the fastest-evolving genes in animals. That makes little sense. We think we know why, in a new paper led by @ching-hochang.bsky.social. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

@csengepetak.bsky.social @jcbnunez.bsky.social et al. provide the first evidence for regions of low recombination in the purple sea urchin genome, several of which display genomic signatures of structural variants. 🔗 academic.oup.com/gbe/article/... #societyjournal #genome #evolution

Nojiri, @susaki-lab.bsky.social et al. compared the genomes of the immortal Hydra vulgaris and the aging Hydra oligactis. Results suggest that extended lifespan may reflect differences in how core biological processes are organized. 🔗 academic.oup.com/gbe/article/... #societyjournal #genome

Blue button jellies float on the waters surface. They’re related to true jellies, but they’ve got a dry top that feels a bit like a fingernail, and is filled with air-trapping chambers to keep the jelly above the waves This float also means they slide on the water like hockey pucks 🏒
