Horizontally transferred genes (HTGs) play a key role in animal symbiosis, and some horizontally transferred genes or proteins are highly expressed in specialized host cells (bacteriocytes). However, it is not clear how HTGs are regulated, but microRNAs (miRNAs) are prime candidates given their previously demonstrated roles in symbiosis and impacts on the expression of host genes. A horizontally acquired PanBC that is highly e...

With the global warming slowdown in the twenty‐first century, a huge discrepancy in regional climate warming has been identified over the main region of the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Compared with the +0.04 °C/decade warming from 1961 to 1999, the warming greatly accelerated for the period 2000–2015 at a rate of +0.30 °C/decade. During the same period, warming in the cold season (November to March) was more pronounced than in the...
