Running a genetic stop sign accelerates oxygen metabolism and energy production in horses
Horses are among nature’s greatest athletes, yet the ancestral molecular adaptations fueling their energy demands are poorly understood. Within a clinically important pathway regulating redox and meta...

Our newest paper is out in Science! This riddle took 5 years to solve. Genome annotation and AI missed it. Manual inspection and serendipity still have advantages for cracking nature's secrets! With @science.org @evolutionvu.bsky.social @rokaslab.bsky.social

Scientists are using ancient works of art to piece together a critically endangered species’ past.
Ancient poems document the decline of the Yangtze finless porpoise
The porpoise is critically endangered. Ancient Chinese poems reveal the animal’s range has dropped about 65 percent over the past 1,400 years.

If you're a grad student or an undergrad interested in research I need to you listen to me very carefully.
You cannot learn to write good research papers if you do not read good research papers.
Stop asking LLMs to summarize papers for you.
