Transposable elements are mobile DNA sequences that can copy themselves and spread between species. This study finds that Kuruka, a retrovirus-like transposon, invaded Drosophila melanogaster within t...

As a fundamental biological principle, genomic information is typically transmitted vertically from parent to offspring. Occasionally, however, genetic material is transferred horizontally between spe...

Website for the Bayesian Workflow book by Gelman, Vehtari, McElreath, et al. — case studies, code, and exercises in R and Stan.

Have minimal genomic samples from two species and want to infer their demographic history? DemogFit is an R package for fitting four simple likelihood-based demographic models using the distributio...

The anthropogenically induced adaptation to invade (AIAI) hypothesis posits that selection in human-modified habitats within native ranges can adapt p…

Recently, Heng Li released MiniBWA (GitHub) alongside a paper by Heng Li and Nils Homer describing the method (paper). MiniBWA builds on the approaches in Minimap2 (also by Heng Li), but falls back on...

If you like French accent:A short and informal introduction to Drosophila genetics, covering the basic knowledge and techniques that may be helpful when working with Drosophila. This series of short l...

Abstract. Many long-standing questions in population genomics can now be addressed through comparative analyses and by leveraging the vast amount of genomi

"Instead of being quiescent, natural selection is everywhere."

Abstract. Fluctuating selection is frequently studied in natural populations by observing allele frequency trajectories over evolutionarily brief timeframe

O escritor António Lobo Antunes, um dos maiores nomes da literatura portuguesa desde a segunda metade do século XX, morreu hoje aos 83 anos.

Functions for the computation of F-, f- and D-statistics (e.g., Fst, hierarchical F-statistics, Patterson's F2, F3, F3*, F4 and D parameters) in population genomics studies from allele count or Pool-S...

Most GWAS have focused on common variants or rare protein coding variants. Here, the authors interrogate the contribution of rare non-coding variants for anthropometric traits, identifying new genes a...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

Au printemps dernier, Ed Zitron publiait un texte passionnant, et certes, un peu long, The Era Of The Business Idiot, que j’ai découvert seulement au début des fêtes (désolé). Il ne se contente pas de...

Why men are taller than women may have nothing to do with testosterone—or sexual selection.

A systematic statistical genetics approach discovers CES drivers as hotspots of human de novo mutation and shows that clonal expansions in germline may both modulate the prevalence of disorders and le...

Approaches combining genetic association and Perturb-seq data that link genetic variants to functional programs to traits are described.
