Insights into gene conversion and crossing-over processes from long-read sequencing of human, chimpanzee and gorilla testes and sperm

This study uses long-read sequencing to analyze gene conversion and crossover events in human, chimpanzee, and gorilla testes and sperm, revealing species-specific patterns and GC bias in gene conversion.

fastDFE: fast and flexible inference of the distribution of fitness effects

fastDFE provides a fast and flexible tool for inferring the distribution of fitness effects from site-frequency spectrum data, with support for genomic covariates and comprehensive data processing.

Measuring plant diversity in a two-stage sampling design by Bayesian updated relative abundances

The paper introduces a Bayesian method to calculate local Hill diversity indices by updating relative abundances using prior distributions from similar habitats, applied to Danish Nardus grasslands.

Competition and coevolution drive the evolution and the diversification of CRISPR immunity

This study shows coevolution between phages and bacteria drives CRISPR immunity diversification through negative-frequency-dependent selection and competitive asymmetries among host genotypes.

Recombination facilitates adaptive evolution in rhizobial soil bacteria

The paper examines how recombination rate affects adaptive evolution in Rhizobium bacteria by analyzing core genome sequences across multiple species.

From genotype to phenotype: maintenance of a chemical polymorphism in the context of high geneflow.

The paper investigates how chemical polymorphism is maintained in wild thyme despite high gene flow, showing that ecotype identity is tightly genetically determined, while chemotype identity involves more loci and greater genotypic redundancy.

Detection of sexually antagonistic transmission distortions in trio datasets

The paper detects sexually antagonistic transmission distortions in trio datasets and identifies genomic regions under sexually antagonistic selection, including human candidate regions.

Using singleton densities to detect recent selection in Bos taurus

This paper uses the Singleton Density Score method to detect recent selection in Holstein cattle, identifying candidate genes but finding no strong evidence for selection on milk traits or stature.

Selective sweeps under dominance and inbreeding

This study examines how dominance and inbreeding via self-fertilization influence hard and soft sweep signatures in evolutionary genetics.

Comparison of the full distribution of fitness effects of new amino acid mutations across great apes

The paper compares the distribution of fitness effects of new amino acid mutations across great apes and finds similar deleterious DFE shapes but varying negative selection strength related to population size and epistasis.

Dioecy in plants: an evolutionary dead end? Insights from a population genomics study in the Silene genus

This study uses population genomics to challenge the evolutionary dead end hypothesis of dioecy in Silene species, finding increased genetic diversity and adaptation potential in dioecious species.

The fitness landscape of the codon space across environments

The paper quantifies the fitness effects of synonymous mutations across environments in yeast using Bayesian methods and shows their impact on evolutionary dynamics.

Identifying drivers of parallel evolution: A regression model approach

The paper develops statistical models to quantify how mutation and selection heterogeneity drive parallel evolution in yeast, finding gene-specific factors influence mutation rates and selection pressures.
