A recent study that is a collaboration between Naoki Masuda, Marie Saitou, and my lab is now online Molecular Biology and Evolution. It is a clever construct by Naoki to collectively analyze the allele frequency
Our paper on adaptive evolution of a very common, exonic deletion polymorphism is now published in Science Advances. https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/sciadv.abi4476 Our press office did an excellent job as usual – The press release is here: http://www.buffalo.edu/news/releases/2021/09/030.html
We have now compiled the most comprehensive gene expression atlas for different salivary gland types in humans. Here is the link for the paper now published in Cell Reports. Here is the news release from
