Complexity of evolutionary equilibria in static fitness landscapes [PDF]
A fitness landscape is a genetic space -- with two genotypes adjacent if they differ in a single locus -- and a fitness function. Evolutionary dynamics produce a flow on this landscape from lower fitness to higher; reaching equilibrium only if a local ...

Historical contingency and entrenchment in protein evolution under purifying selection [PDF]
The fitness contribution of an allele at one genetic site may depend on alleles at other sites, a phenomenon known as epistasis. Epistasis can profoundly influence the process of evolution in populations under selection, and can shape the course of ...

ERAP1 Allotypes 2 and 10 Differentially Regulate the Immunopeptidome of Melanocytes
ERAP1 is an intracellular aminopeptidase that edits antigenic peptides to be presented by MHC class I molecules and is found in distinct functional allotypes in individuals. To investigate how different disease‐associated ERAP1 allotypes affect the cellular immunopeptidome, we generated A375 melanoma cell clones carrying either allotype 2 or allotype ...

Nonparametric method for genomics-based prediction of performance of quantitative traits involving epistasis in plant breeding. [PDF]
Genomic selection (GS) procedures have proven useful in estimating breeding value and predicting phenotype with genome-wide molecular marker information.

Robustness and epistasis in mutation-selection models
We investigate the fitness advantage associated with the robustness of a phenotype against deleterious mutations using deterministic mutation-selection models of quasispecies type equipped with a mesa shaped fitness landscape.

Hamiltonian model for multidimensional epistasis [PDF]
We propose and solve a Hamiltonian model for multidimensional epistastatic interactions between beneficial mutations. The model is able to give rise either to a phase transition between two equilibrium states, without any coexistence, or exhibits a state

During postharvest cold storage of apples, the NAC transcription factor MdNAC83 binds to the promoters and activates the expression of downstream genes and is regulated by E3 ligases, which promote its ubiquitination and degradation. Genetic variants in MdNAC83 and its downstream genes form a network to regulate apple fruit storability.

Mixed Outcomes in Recombination Rates After Domestication: Revisiting Theory and Data
ABSTRACT The process of domestication has altered many phenotypes. Selection on these phenotypes has long been hypothesised to indirectly select for increases in the genome‐wide recombination rate. This hypothesis is potentially consistent with theory on the evolution of the recombination rate, but empirical support has been unclear. We review relevant
