DOI: 10.1007/s00239-021-10033-1
Abstract: While much excitement has attended the discovery and study of circular RNAs, a new study in Cell Reports suggests that most mammalian circRNAs are not only functionless, but in fact costly. Comparison across three species is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10592-019-01210-3
Abstract: The management of endangered species is complicated in the marine environment owing to difficulties to directly access, track and monitor in situ. Population genetics provide a genuine alternative to estimate population size and inbreeding using… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-66734-y
Abstract: Effective population size reflects the history of population growth, contraction, and structuring. When the effect of structuring is negligible, the inferred trajectory of the effective population size can be informative about the key events in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evab150
Abstract: Abstract The nearly neutral theory predicts specific relations between effective population size (Ne) and patterns of divergence and polymorphism, which depend on the shape of the distribution of fitness effects (DFE) of new mutations. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/sysbio/syy007
Abstract: Abstract Nonparametric population genetic modeling provides a simple and flexible approach for studying demographic history and epidemic dynamics using pathogen sequence data. Existing Bayesian approaches are premised on stochastic processes with stationary increments which may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1755-0998.13804
Abstract: Measurement of allele frequency shifts between temporally spaced samples has long been used for assessment of effective population size (Ne ), and this 'temporal method' provides estimates of Ne referred to as variance effective size… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/2041-210x.12820
Abstract: Pairwise measures of neutral genetic differentiation are supposed to contain information about past and ongoing dispersal events and are thus often used as dependent variables in correlative analyses to elucidate how neutral genetic variation is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/biom.13275
Abstract: The authors present an attractive solution to a long-standing problem of local adaptivity of Gaussian process priors for phylodynamic inference. While Gaussian process–based phylodynamics have been used for over 10 years (Minin et al., 2008;… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eva.13535
Abstract: Estimating effective population size (Ne) is important for theoretical and practical applications in evolutionary biology and conservation. Nevertheless, estimates of Ne in organisms with complex life‐history traits remain scarce because of the challenges associated with… read more here.
