Molecular Biology and Evolution
@MolBioEvol
An @OfficialSMBE journal, MBE publishes fresh insights into the patterns and processes that impact the evolution of life at the molecular level.
📣 MBE is diversifying its social media portfolio Although we will continue posting on new issues here on X, we are switching our attention to the growing community on other platforms. Make sure to follow us across social media for the latest breakthroughs in our field.
The July cover of Molecular Biology and Evolution features the work of Long et al., who investigated evolutionary responses to climate change in Populus lasiocarpa trees. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/molbev… 🖌️ Long et al. #evobio #molbio

Widespread adaptive introgression of MHC genes across vertebrate hybrid zones academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-ar… @MolBioEvol
Heterochromatin (HC) is a highly conserved nuclear domain that plays critical functions in genome stability across eukaryotes. Yet, our recent study in @MolBioEvol finds the underlying protein component of HC to be rapidly evolving! (1/5) academic.oup.com/mbe/article/41…
🐜 🍃 🍄 🧬🦠: 🧵 In the last month, we learned that fungus-farming ants domesticated 4 fungal lineages @ScienceMagazine Mycoviruses can infect the leafcutter ants' cultivar @VirologyJ Leafcutters' fungus genome shows several signatures of domestication @MolBioEvol
Our work on ELF3 evolution is finally out in @MolBioEvol . We found that the temperature-sensing prion-like domain 🌡️might actually be a lineage-specific add-on. academic.oup.com/mbe/article/do…
