DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msaa288
Abstract: Abstract How gene function evolves is a central question of evolutionary biology. It can be investigated by comparing functional genomics results between species and between genes. Most comparative studies of functional genomics have used pairwise… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/sysbio/syac079
Abstract: The advent of fast computational algorithms for phylogenetic comparative methods allows for considering multiple hypotheses concerning the co-adaptation of traits and also for studying if it is possible to distinguish between such models based on… read more here.
