COVID-19 pandemic and “survival of the fittest”
Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2021 Occurrence and recurrence of COVID-19 cases have been observed globally. The complex relationship of host-pathogen and the environment plays a vital role in understanding the widespread recurrence of the SARS-CoV-2 among humans.

Natural selection promotes antigenic evolvability. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2013 The hypothesis that evolvability - the capacity to evolve by natural selection - is itself the object of natural selection is highly intriguing but remains controversial due in large part to a paucity of direct experimental evidence.

An experimentally introduced population of Brassica rapa (Brassicaceae). 1. Phenotypic selection over three years following colonization of a novel environment [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Background and aims – Despite the importance of selection in driving evolution, little is known about the consistency of selection, particularly in the early stages of colonization of novel environments. This study examines the targets and consistency of

Information-Geometric Optimization with Natural Selection
Entropy, 2020 Evolutionary algorithms, inspired by natural evolution, aim to optimize difficult objective functions without computing derivatives. Here we detail the relationship between classical population genetics of quantitative traits and evolutionary ...

Natural Knockouts: Natural Selection Knocked Out
Biology, 2017 In functional genomics studies, research is dedicated to unveiling the function of genes using gene-knockouts, model organisms in which a gene is artificially inactivated. The idea is that, by knocking out the gene, the provoked phenotype would inform us

ABO AND RH BLOOD GROUPS DISTRIBUTION IN THE POPULATIONS OF LARESTAN AND LAMERD, FARS PROVINCE, IRAN [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Public Health, 1996 A total of 3204 ABO and Rh blood groups were investigated in Larestan and Lamerd populations, in Fars province, in Iran. The frequency of the A gene ranged from 16.54% to 21.96, the B gene from 15.85 to 27.77% and that of the d gene from 21.49 to 33.01% ;

Phylogenetic Analysis of Three Long Non-coding RNA Genes: AK082072, AK043754 and AK082467 [PDF]
Journal of Genetic Resources, 2018 Now, it is clear that protein is just one of the most functional products produced by the eukaryotic genome. Indeed, a major part of the human genome is transcribed to non-coding sequences than to the coding sequence of the protein.
