The paper develops a model-free estimator for the product of genealogical tree height and scaled mutation rate using site frequency spectra, showing it is unbiased and performs better than tree height averaging in simulations.

The paper estimates how many new phage species can be discovered based on existing databases and identifies changes in species abundance over time.

The paper models duplication-selection dynamics in gene families, showing that finite populations experience unbounded copy number growth unless counteracted by synergistic epistasis.

This study analyzes the population genomics and molecular epidemiology of wheat powdery mildew in Europe, revealing population structure linked to wind patterns and identifying loci under selection, including fungicide targets and avirulence genes.

This study compares genetic diversity within and between populations of Streptococcus mitis and S. pneumoniae, finding higher within-population diversity in S. mitis due to larger effective population size.

This paper introduces two methods to infer demographic history and selection from sequence data by modeling the ancestral recombination graph under the beta coalescent.
