Reducing Epistasis and Pleiotropy Can Avoid the Survival of the Flattest Tragedy

open access: yesBiology
This study investigates whether reducing epistasis and pleiotropy enhances mutational robustness in evolutionary adaptation, utilizing an indirect encoded model within the “survival of the flattest” (SoF) fitness landscape.

Testing for Genetic Interactions in Complex Disease With Distance Correlation

open access: yesBiometrical Journal, Volume 68, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding epistasis (genetic interaction) may shed some light on the genomic basis of common diseases, including disorders of maximum interest due to their high socioeconomic burden, like schizophrenia. Distance correlation is an association measure that characterizes general statistical independence between random variables, not only the ...

Variant‐Specific Landscape of Mutual Exclusivity Among BRAF, EGFR, and KRAS Oncogenes Reveals Overlap With Functionally Antagonistic Mutant Pairs

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 7, Page 1715-1734, 1 October 2026.
Mutual exclusivity and co‐occurrence of oncogenic mutations reflect functional antagonism or dependence and may inform therapeutic strategies. However, most studies overlook variant‐level patterns. In this comprehensive, cross‐cohort analysis of BRAF, KRAS, and EGFR mutation subtypes, the most significant mutual exclusivity pairs overlapped with ...

Predictive evolutionary genomics: principles, validation, and practice

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 36-48, October 2026.
Summary Climate change and habitat loss are driving rapid evolutionary responses in populations world‐wide, which creates an urgent need for evolutionary forecasting in conservation and agriculture. Such forecasting can be categorized into three time scales: trait‐based models that use multivariate quantitative genetic equations to project correlated ...

Distributed transformer for high order epistasis detection in large-scale datasets

open access: yesScientific Reports
Understanding the genetic basis of complex diseases is one of the most important challenges in current precision medicine. To this end, Genome-Wide Association Studies aim to correlate Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) to the presence or absence of ...

Genetic variability, heritability, and trait associations for yield and grain dimensions in diverse rice genotypes

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a critical staple crop, necessitating continuous genetic improvement to enhance yield and quality traits to meet global food demands. This study aims to identify high‐yielding genotypes with desirable quality traits and elucidate the relationships among traits to inform breeding strategies. Twenty‐seven rice genotypes

GWAS of Tau‐Neurodegeneration Mismatch Identifies New Risk Loci for Susceptibility to Tau

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
This GWAS of tau/neurodegeneration mismatch in 794 ADNI and A4 participants identified two genome‐wide significant loci, STXBP6 and AKAP9. The risk alleles were associated with greater‐than‐expected neurodegeneration for a given tau burden, suggesting these genes may influence susceptibility to tau‐related neuronal injury.

Triple Threat: Elucidating Evolution Under Antibiotic, Metal, and Phage Pressure in Escherichia coli

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Antibiotic resistance threatens treatment of bacterial infections, increasing research into alternative therapies, in particular whether new resistances will arise to these novel treatments. We evolved bacteria under phage, antibiotic, and heavy metal exposure.
