Bourne et al. analyzed immune receptor gene repertoires of 15 domesticated crop species, showing that grapes, mandarins, rice, barley, and yellow sarson exhibit reduced immune receptor gene repertoires compared to wild counterparts.

Single-cell consequences of X-linked meiotic drive in stalk-eyed flies
Author summary Meiotic drivers, a class of selfish gene, are frequently located on sex chromosomes and have dramatic impacts on gamete development. However, our understanding of their molecular conseq...

We find temporal confounds in fMRI that emulate neural patterns of perceptual learning.
These can be hard to spot with conventional RSA, but may influence our understanding of how prior knowledge shapes perception.

Goodbye #eseb2025 @eseb2025.bsky.social see you next time!
Perhaps what stuck most was powerful talk on resilience and survival by Palestinian researcher, play director, and ESEB EUEA awardee May Shehady. Let's not forget, let's not look away. 🇵🇸
