The population genetics of evolutionary rescue. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Evolutionary rescue occurs when a population that is threatened with extinction by an environmental change adapts to the change sufficiently rapidly to survive. Here we extend the mathematical theory of evolutionary rescue.

Efficient pedigree recording for fast population genetics simulation
bioRxiv, 2018 In this paper we describe how to efficiently record the entire genetic history of a population in forwards-time, individual-based population genetics simulations with arbitrary breeding models, population structure and demography.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

Exploring the effects of ecological parameters on the spatial structure of genetic tree sequences
Peer Community JournalGeographic space is a fundamental dimension of evolutionary change, determining how individuals disperse and interact with each other. Consequently, space has an important influence on the structure of genealogies and the distribution of genetic variants

gPGA: GPU Accelerated Population Genetics Analyses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The isolation with migration (IM) model is important for studies in population genetics and phylogeography. IM program applies the IM model to genetic data drawn from a pair of closely related populations or species based on Markov chain Monte Carlo ...

Population genetic characteristics of Hainan medaka with whole-genome resequencing
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 The DMY gene is deleted in all males of the Sanya population (SY-medaka) of the Hainan medaka, Oryzias curvinotus, as recently reported by us. However, due to limited knowledge regarding their population genetic background, it is difficult to explore the

Landscape genetics and gene flow in the banana pathogenic fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis [PDF]
, 2007 Among the different evolutionary forces driving population genetics, gene flow related to dispersal plays a major role in local adaptation processes. However very few studies on plant pathogenic fungi focussed on deciphering gene flow patterns at the ...

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...

Using neutral cline decay to estimate contemporary dispersal: a generic tool and its application to a major crop pathogen [PDF]
, 2013 Dispersal is a key parameter of adaptation, invasion and persistence. Yet standard population genetics inference methods hardly distinguish it from drift and many species cannot be studied by direct mark-recapture methods.

A stepwise emergence of evolution in the RNA world
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.How did biological evolution emerge from chemical reactions? This perspective proposes a gradual scenario of self‐organization among RNA molecules, where catalytic feedback on random mixtures plays the central role. Short oligomers cross‐ligate, and self‐assembly enables heritable variations. An event of template‐externalization marks the transition to
