A pan-cancer analysis of synonymous mutations [PDF]
Synonymous mutations do not alter amino acid sequence but may exert oncogenic effects in other ways. Here, the authors present a catalogue of synonymous mutations in cancer and characterise their properties.

A multispecies approach for comparing sequence evolution of X-linked and autosomal sites in Drosophila [PDF]
Population genetics models show that, under certain conditions, the X chromosome is expected to be under more efficient selection than the autosomes.

Fitness costs of synonymous mutations in the rpsT gene can be compensated by restoring mRNA base pairing. [PDF]
We previously reported that the distribution of fitness effects for non-synonymous and synonymous mutations in Salmonella typhimurium ribosomal proteins S20 and L1 are similar, suggesting that fitness constraints are present at the level of mRNA. Here we

Germline mutations in the oncogene EZH2 cause Weaver syndrome and increased human height. [PDF]
The biological processes controlling human growth are diverse, complex and poorly understood. Genetic factors are important and human height has been shown to be a highly polygenic trait to which common and rare genetic variation contributes.

Reduced efficacy of selection in regions of the Drosophila genome that lack crossing over [PDF]
The recombinational environment is predicted to influence patterns of protein sequence evolution through the effects of Hill-Robertson interference among linked sites subject to selection.
