DOI: 10.1080/10495398.2023.2196317
Abstract: Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes are among the immune genes that have been extensively studied in vertebrates and are necessary for adaptive immunity. In the immunological response to infectious diseases, they play several significant roles.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msaa259
Abstract: Abstract Identification of partial sweeps, which include both hard and soft sweeps that have not currently reached fixation, provides crucial information about ongoing evolutionary responses. To this end, we introduce partialS/HIC, a deep learning method… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/age.12752
Abstract: Summary After domestication 11 000 years ago in Asia Minor, the goat followed human migration to Europe and Asia. It was then introduced in Africa and is now raised all over the world. In this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eva.13498
Abstract: Pesticide resistance provides one of the best examples of rapid evolution to environmental change. The Colorado potato beetle has a long and noteworthy history as a super-pest due to its ability to repeatedly develop resistance… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1010022
Abstract: The ability to accurately identify and quantify genetic signatures associated with soft selective sweeps based on patterns of nucleotide variation has remained controversial. We here provide counter viewpoints to recent publications in PLOS Genetics that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1534/genetics.120.303137
Abstract: Positive selection causes beneficial alleles to rise to high frequency, resulting in a selective sweep of the diversity surrounding the selected sites. Accordingly, the signature of a selective sweep in an ancestral population may still… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/genes12040527
Abstract: In the last 15 years or so, soft selective sweep mechanisms have been catapulted from a curiosity of little evolutionary importance to a ubiquitous mechanism claimed to explain most adaptive evolution and, in some cases,… read more here.
