Fang et al. propose a model in which extreme ecological transitions can disrupt ancestral mitonuclear coadaptation and promote the emergence of a new coadapted state through systemic nuclear compensation.

However, as we delved into the mitochondrial DNA, we started to uncover a more complex story. Birds in the core of the Congo Basin shared mtDNA with the Northeast Uganda population, a pattern of mitonuclear discordance suggestive of introgression, showing the Congo River is not a strict barrier.
Phylogenies showing the western population as the first branch with eastern and central sister in the nuclear tree. However, the mitochondrial tree shows an unusual pattern, with central congo basin birds in the same clade as Northeast Uganda birds.

Kayhani et al. find that introgression of warm-adapted alleles was largely successful despite the risk of introducing mitonuclear incompatibilities that could result from genome-wide shifts toward the paternal allele in Tigriopus californicus.

One month ago, I defended my bachelor's thesis on mitonuclear incompatibilities in F2 swordtail hybrids.

This project confirmed how much I enjoy asking questions, making sense of unexpected results, and doing research. It was such a rewarding experience 💛

A big thank you to my mentor, Molly!

PCBP1 regulates alternative splicing of AARS2 in congenital cardiomyopathy - Nature Cardiovascular Research
Lu et al. report that PCBP1 safeguards AARS2 alternative splicing in the heart, and that loss of PCBP1 disrupts AARS2 splicing, leading to infantile mitochondrial cardiomyopathy. Loss of cardiac PCBP1 or AARS2 impairs oxidative phosphorylation and activates mitonuclear signaling and the unfolded protein response pathway.

Mitochondrial and nuclear genomes often tell different evolutionary stories.

In our new Molecular Ecology paper, we use whole-genome Pool-seq data to test whether selection on mito-nuclear interactions underlies this phenomenon in a New Zealand trematode parasite.
