Abstract. Genome sequence contamination has a variety of causes and can originate from within or between species. Previous research focused on contaminatio

Human activity alters selection pressures and species' ranges, creating opportunities for hybridisation through secondary contact. Ancient hybridization has enabled adaptive radiation, but its role in...

I am so happy to share a new paper and a new video (see below). The paper describes a simple mathematical model that describes levels of drug resistance. I called the model the Resistance-Acquisition-Purifying-Selection model (RAPS). While the model is simple, it wasn't easy to write the paper or to get it published. Before submitting to the journal Epidemics, I submitted to Nature (desk reject, late 2023), Science (reject after useful reviews, early 2024) and PNAS (another reject after constructive reviews, mid 2024).
