1.
Weinstein B, Wang Z, Zhou Q, Roy S
Genome Biol Evol
. 2025 Jan;
17(2).
PMID: 39847522
Eukaryotic genome size varies considerably, even among closely related species. The causes of this variation are unclear, but weak selection against supposedly costly "extra" genomic sequences has been central to...

Roy S
Evolution
. 2024 Jan;
78(4):801-802.
PMID: 38224497
Meiotic drivers that act during spermatogenesis derive a transmission advantage by disabling sperm that do not carry the driver, often leading to substantially reduced overall sperm number and function. A...

Roy S
Evolution
. 2024 Jan;
78(3):595-596.
PMID: 38206675
Obligate asexuality has arisen many times in eukaryotes, often related to the disrupted function of the core meiotic machinery. For obligately asexual lineages that evolve from facultatively asexual ancestors, there...

Evolution
. 2024 Jan;
78(3):597-598.
PMID: 38198721
Conflict over the degree of maternal investment in an offspring can exist between an offspring's maternally inherited and paternally inherited alleles. Such conflict is not expected under self-fertilization. A new...

Bioessays
. 2023 Nov;
45(12):e2100164.
PMID: 37941456
The creeping vole Microtus oregoni exhibits remarkably transformed sex chromosome biology, with complete chromosome drive/drag, X-Y fusions, sex reversed X complements, biased X inactivation, and X chromosome degradation. Beginning with...

Roy S, Gozashti L, Bowser B, Weinstein B, Larue G, Corbett-Detig R
Curr Biol
. 2022 Dec;
33(1):189-196.e4.
PMID: 36543167
Spliceosomal introns, which interrupt nuclear genes, are ubiquitous features of eukaryotic nuclear genes. Spliceosomal intron evolution is complex, with different lineages ranging from virtually zero to thousands of newly created...

Roy S
Evolution
. 2022 Sep;
76(11):2789-2790.
PMID: 36148957
Why it is that some individuals in some species assume lifelong subordinate nonreproductive status has been debated since Darwin. Subordinates may be physically incapable of assuming dominant roles or may...

Roy S
Evolution
. 2022 Sep;
76(12):3071-3072.
PMID: 36097360
The availability of genome sequences from large numbers of species offers the prospect of studying genotype-phenotype correlations across various phylogenetic scales using only available data. A new study illustrates the...

Roy S
Evolution
. 2022 Sep;
76(10):2475-2476.
PMID: 36097357
Multiple ant lineages have evolved a bizarre system called social hybridogenesis, involving multiple co-occurring genetic lineages, in which mating between lineages produces workers but mating within a lineage produces daughter...

Anderson N, Jaron K, Hodson C, Couger M, Sevcik J, Weinstein B, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2022 Jun;
119(23):e2122580119.
PMID: 35653559
Haplodiploidy and paternal genome elimination (HD/PGE) are common in invertebrates, having evolved at least two dozen times, all from male heterogamety (i.e., systems with X chromosomes). However, why X chromosomes...
