Colombi E, Bertels F, Doulcier G, McConnell E, Pichugina T, Sohn K, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2024 Mar;
121(11):e2309263121.
PMID: 38457521
Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) are self-transmissible mobile elements that transfer functional genetic units across broad phylogenetic distances. Accessory genes shuttled by ICEs can make significant contributions to bacterial fitness....

G3 (Bethesda)
. 2021 Feb;
11(1).
PMID: 33561246
Most phenotypic traits in nature involve the collective action of many genes. Traits that evolve repeatedly are particularly useful for understanding how selection may act on changing trait values. In...

BMC Evol Biol
. 2020 May;
20(1):56.
PMID: 32414322
Background: Amylase gene clusters have been implicated in adaptive copy number changes in response to the amount of starch in the diet of humans and mammals. However, this interpretation has...

Mol Biol Evol
. 2019 Mar;
36(5):1056-1070.
PMID: 30835283
Observations of bacteria at the single-cell level have revealed many instances of phenotypic heterogeneity within otherwise clonal populations, but the selective causes, molecular bases, and broader ecological relevance remain poorly...

PLoS Biol
. 2018 Nov;
16(11):e2005066.
PMID: 30419022
Genome-wide sequence divergence between populations can cause hybrid sterility through the action of the anti-recombination system, which rejects crossover repair of double strand breaks between nonidentical sequences. Because crossovers are...

Rogers D, McConnell E, Miller E, Greig D
Mol Biol Evol
. 2017 Sep;
34(12):3176-3185.
PMID: 28961820
Signaling peptides enable communication between cells, both within and between individuals, and are therefore key to the control of complex physiological and behavioral responses. Since their small sizes prevent direct...

Nat Ecol Evol
. 2017 Jun;
1(6):0217.
PMID: 28580432
It is generally assumed that new genes arise through duplication and/or recombination of existing genes. The probability that a new functional gene could arise out of random non-coding DNA is...

Shue-Min Yeh J, Sennoga C, McConnell E, Eckersley R, Tang M, Nourshargh S, et al.
PLoS One
. 2015 Jul;
10(7):e0129681.
PMID: 26161541
Rationale: Microbubbles conjugated with targeting ligands are used as contrast agents for ultrasound molecular imaging. However, they often contain immunogenic (strept)avidin, which impedes application in humans. Although targeting bubbles not...

Curr Biol
. 2015 Jun;
25(13):1753-8.
PMID: 26073134
Sex with another species can be disastrous, especially for organisms that mate only once, like yeast. Courtship signals, including pheromones, often differ between species and can provide a basis for...

Ultrasound Med Biol
. 2015 Jun;
41(9):2478-96.
PMID: 26044707
Ultrasound molecular imaging using targeting microbubbles is predominantly a semi-quantitative tool, thus limiting its potential diagnostic power and clinical applications. In the work described here, we developed a novel method...
