Divergent Population Structure in Five Common Rockfish Species of Puget Sound, WA Suggests the Need for Species‐Specific ManagementNARA Subscribed
Quantifying connectivity between endangered or threatened marine populations is critical information for management and conservation, especially where abundance and productivity differ among such populations. Spatial patterns of such connectivity depend not only on extrinsic factors such as oceanography and bathymetry but also on intrinsic species‐specific factors such as life history, demography and the location of glacial re...
Common, low-frequency, rare, and ultra-rare coding variants contribute to COVID-19 severityNARA Subscribed
The combined impact of common and rare exonic variants in COVID-19 host genetics is currently insufficiently understood. Here, common and rare variants from whole-exome sequencing data of about 4000 SARS-CoV-2-positive individuals were used to define an interpretable machine-learning model for predicting COVID-19 severity. First, variants were converted into separate sets of Boolean features, depending on the absence or the pr...
Regulatory approaches for genome edited agricultural plants in select countries and jurisdictions around the worldNARA Subscribed
Genome editing in agriculture and food is leading to new, improved crops and other products. Depending on the regulatory approach taken in each country or region, commercialization of these crops and products may or may not require approval from the respective regulatory authorities. This paper describes the regulatory landscape governing genome edited agriculture and food products in a selection of countries and regions.
Dietary specialization in mutualistic acacia‐ants affects relative abundance but not identity of host‐associated bacteriaNARA Subscribed
Acacia‐ant mutualists in the genus Pseudomyrmex nest obligately in acacia plants and, as we show through stable isotope analysis, feed at a remarkably low trophic level. Insects with diets such as these sometimes depend on bacterial symbionts for nutritional enrichment. We, therefore, examine the bacterial communities associated with acacia‐ants in order to determine whether they host bacterial partners likely to contribute to...
