Drivers of adaptive evolution during chronic SARS-CoV-2 infections

Nature Medicine, 2022
In some immunocompromised patients with chronic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, considerable adaptive evolution occurs.

Emergence, phylogeography, and adaptive evolution of mpox virus

new microbes and new infections, 2023
Mpox (Monkeypox) is a zoonotic disease caused by mpox virus (MPXV). A multi-country MPXV outbreak in non-endemic demographics was identified in May 2022.

Evolution by Adapting Surrogates [PDF]

Evolutionary Computation, 2013
To deal with complex optimization problems plagued with computationally expensive fitness functions, the use of surrogates to replace the original functions within the evolutionary framework is becoming a common practice. However, the appropriate datacentric approximation methodology to use for the construction of surrogate model would depend largely ...

Genetic variance in fitness indicates rapid contemporary adaptive evolution in wild animals

Science, 2022
The rate of adaptive evolution, the contribution of selection to genetic changes that increase mean fitness, is determined by the additive genetic variance in individual relative fitness.

TRPV3: Structure, Diseases and Modulators

Molecules, 2023
Transient receptor potential vanillin 3 (TRPV3) is a member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily. As a Ca2+-permeable nonselective cation channel, TRPV3 can recognize thermal stimulation (31–39 °C), and it plays an important regulatory ...

Plasticity's role in adaptive evolution depends on environmental change components.

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2022
To forecast extinction risks of natural populations under climate change and direct human impacts, an integrative understanding of both phenotypic plasticity and adaptive evolution is essential.

Ongoing global and regional adaptive evolution of SARS-CoV-2

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Understanding the ongoing evolution of SARS-CoV-2 is essential to control and ultimately end the pandemic. We analyzed more than 300,000 SARS-CoV-2 genomes available as of January 2021 and demonstrate adaptive evolution of the virus that ...

The importance of alternative splicing in adaptive evolution

Molecular Ecology, 2021
Although alternative splicing is a ubiquitous co‐transcriptional gene regulatory mechanism in plants, animals and fungi, its contribution to evolutionary transitions is understudied.

Simple sequence repeats drive genome plasticity and promote adaptive evolution in penaeid shrimp

Communications Biology, 2021
Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are rare (approximately 1%) in most genomes and are generally considered to have no function. However, penaeid shrimp genomes have a high proportion of SSRs (>23%), raising the question of whether these SSRs play important ...

Climate change and spatial distribution shaped the life-history traits of schizothoracine fishes on the Tibetan Plateau and its adjacent areas

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Understanding the mechanisms by which the environment shapes the life history of fishes is critical for our ability to predict the responses of species or ecosystems under global environmental change.
