Williams B
Conserv Biol . 2022 Jun; 16(1):148-157. PMID: 35701978
I investigated the phylogeography of mitochondrial DNA haplotypes in the regal fritillary (  Speyeria idalia  ) to determine the conservation status of isolated populations in light of alternative definitions of...

Maddamsetti R, Hatcher P, Green A, Williams B, Marks D, Lenski R
Genome Biol Evol . 2017 Apr; 9(4):1072-1083. PMID: 28379360
Bacteria can evolve rapidly under positive selection owing to their vast numbers, allowing their genes to diversify by adapting to different environments. We asked whether the same genes that evolve...

Handee W, Li X, Hall K, Deng X, Li P, Benning C, et al.
PLoS Genet . 2016 Feb; 12(2):e1005878. PMID: 26907989
Intracellular triacylglycerol (TAG) is a ubiquitous energy storage lipid also involved in lipid homeostasis and signaling. Comparatively, little is known about TAG's role in other cellular functions. Here we show...

Hall K, Eisthen H, Williams B
PLoS One . 2016 Feb; 11(2):e0146851. PMID: 26885665
Pheromones play an important role in modifying vertebrate behavior, especially during courtship and mating. Courtship behavior in urodele amphibians often includes female exposure to secretions from the cloacal gland, as...

Williams B, Akazome Y, Oka Y, Eisthen H
BMC Evol Biol . 2014 Oct; 14:215. PMID: 25344287
Background: Elucidating the mechanisms underlying coevolution of ligands and receptors is an important challenge in molecular evolutionary biology. Peptide hormones and their receptors are excellent models for such efforts, given...

Kominek J, Marszalek J, Neuveglise C, Craig E, Williams B
Genome Biol Evol . 2013 Nov; 5(12):2460-77. PMID: 24277689
Hsp70 molecular chaperones are ubiquitous. By preventing aggregation, promoting folding, and regulating degradation, Hsp70s are major factors in the ability of cells to maintain proteostasis. Despite a wealth of functional...

Hamm C, Rademacher V, Landis D, Williams B
J Hered . 2013 Oct; 105(1):19-27. PMID: 24158752
The modern delineation of taxonomic groups is often aided by analyses of molecular data, which can also help inform conservation biology. Two subspecies of the butterfly Neonympha mitchellii are classified...

Agostoni M, Koestler B, Waters C, Williams B, Montgomery B
mBio . 2013 Aug; 4(4). PMID: 23943760
Unlabelled: Microorganisms use a variety of metabolites to respond to external stimuli, including second messengers that amplify primary signals and elicit biochemical changes in a cell. Levels of the second...

Williams B
Cell . 2003 Nov; 115(4):369-70. PMID: 14622589
Tsong et al. characterize the role of mating type genes in Candida albicans and identify a new regulator of mating type and several mating type target genes. Comparison with Saccharomyces...

Rokas A, Williams B, King N, Carroll S
Nature . 2003 Oct; 425(6960):798-804. PMID: 14574403
One of the most pervasive challenges in molecular phylogenetics is the incongruence between phylogenies obtained using different data sets, such as individual genes. To systematically investigate the degree of incongruence,...
