Enrichment of hard sweeps on the X chromosome compared to autosomes in six Drosophila species

The paper compares selective sweep patterns between X chromosomes and autosomes in six Drosophila species, finding increased evidence of hard sweeps on the X chromosome.

Enrichment of hard sweeps on the X chromosome in Drosophila melanogaster

The paper finds an enrichment of hard sweeps on the X chromosome in Drosophila melanogaster compared to autosomes, supporting predictions from simulations about the effects of hemizygosity and population size.

Community diversity is associated with intra-species genetic diversity and gene loss in the human gut microbiome

The paper shows that community diversity in the human gut microbiome is linked to intra-species genetic diversity and gene loss, supporting both Diversity Begets Diversity and Black Queen Hypothesis mechanisms.

Ecological Stability Emerges at the Level of Strains in the Human Gut Microbiome

The paper analyzes strain-level dynamics in the human gut microbiome and finds that strain abundances follow macroecological laws similar to species-level patterns, indicating ecological stability at the strain level.

Rapid evolution and strain turnover in the infant gut microbiome

This study finds that the infant gut microbiome evolves rapidly with high strain turnover, driven by de novo mutations and family transmissions, and stabilizes as the microbiome matures.

Comparative Population Genetics in the Human Gut Microbiome

The paper explores comparative population genetics in the human gut microbiome to identify evolutionary trends and functional categories under different selection pressures.

Detection of hard and soft selective sweeps from Drosophila melanogaster population genomic data

The paper reanalyzes Drosophila melanogaster population genomic data to confirm that recent and strong sweeps are likely soft sweeps, despite criticism of the original findings.

Longitudinal linked read sequencing reveals ecological and evolutionary responses of a human gut microbiome during antibiotic treatment

This study uses linked-read sequencing to track genetic and ecological changes in a human gut microbiome during antibiotic treatment and recovery.

Evolutionary dynamics of bacteria in the gut microbiome within and across hosts

This study examines evolutionary dynamics of gut bacteria within and across hosts, finding rapid genetic changes within hosts and challenges to standard population genetic models.

Detection and classification of hard and soft sweeps from unphased genotypes by multilocus genotype identity

The paper develops methods to detect and classify hard and soft selective sweeps using unphased genotypes, finding they are effective for recent sweeps and population expansions.
