Abstract. Coleoid cephalopods have convergently evolved many traits shared with vertebrates, including camera-type eyes, large brain-to-body size ratios, a

Motivation: Many methods can be used to infer the number and timing of gene duplication and loss events from gene trees. Most such reconciliation methods use a model of gene duplication that does not ...

As the use of population descriptors such as race, ethnicity, and ancestry have become increasingly common in modern genetics research, there have been growing calls to critically examine their use. M...

Job Description The Department of Biological Sciences in the College of Science at Virginia Tech seeks applicants for two (2) tenure-track research and teaching positions at the Assistant/Associate ...

Author summary Cancer cells often evolve resistance to treatments during therapy by acquiring specific mutations, leading to eventual relapse and treatment failure. While using multiple treatments in ...

The Kleiner Lab at North Carolina State University is seeking a Research Technician to support research focused on complex microbial communities, microbial symbioses, and metaproteomics. Reporting to ...

Abstract. Pleiotropy, the phenomenon where a single mutation influences multiple phenotypic traits, creates genetic correlations that can constrain evoluti

Many urgent medical and agricultural challenges are driven by resistance evolution via soft selective sweeps of multiple simultaneous mutations. Standard approaches to detect these mutations involve g...

Abstract. The classic theory of mutation-selection balance predicts the equilibrium frequency of genetic variation under negative selection. The model pred

Author summary The process of translating mRNA into a protein is both energetically expensive and relatively error-prone. As such, natural selection is thought to shape the evolution of protein-coding...

Fungi are widespread on our planet and essential for life as we know it, but how did they come about? Their last common ancestor lived hundreds of millions of years ago, but its characteristics, and t...

The regulation of messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein abundances is well-studied, but less is known about the evolutionary processes shaping their relationship. To address this, we derived a new phylogen...

Alexander Di Filippo accuses Turning Point USA of inciting violence against Antifa handbook author Mark Bray.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.
