Our preprint now peer-reviewed and published 🌾🔬🧬 Grasses have a signature short-long leaf epidermal pattern: small stomata & hair cells spaced by long pavement cells, but how is it built? Premitotic BdPL1 sets cell-size asymmetry; postmitotic BdBRX-solo/BdYDA1 enforces fate. doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...

Albuquerque characterized the satellitome of the pea aphid, with results suggesting that satDNAs contribute to genome evolution, biotype divergence, and the “fast-X” effect. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evaf104 #genome #satellitome

Jayaprasad et al. examined dosage compensation and sex-biased gene expression in Vandiemenella viatica grasshoppers. They show that dosage compensation is regulated at levels of chromosome arms. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evag026 #genome #evolution
