Mutation is the origin of all genetic variation, good and bad. The mutation process can
evolve in response to mutations, positive or negative selection, and genetic drift, but how …

Genetic variation originates from several types of spontaneous mutation, including single-
nucleotide substitutions, short insertions and deletions (indels), and larger structural …

Killer meiotic drivers are a class of selfish genetic elements that bias inheritance in their
favor by destroying meiotic progeny that do not carry them. How killer meiotic drivers evolve …

Fission yeasts are an ancient group of fungal species that diverged from each other from
tens to hundreds of million years ago. Among them is the preeminent model organism …

Transposable elements (TEs) are major contributors to structural genomic variation by
creating interspersed duplications of themselves. In return, structural variants (SVs) can …

One of the defining features of transposable elements (TEs) is their ability to move to new
locations in the host genome. To minimize the potentially deleterious effects of de novo TE …

Population genomics studies the evolutionary processes that shape intraspecies genetic
variations. In this review, I explore the insights into yeast population genomics that have …

Transposable elements are molecular parasites that persist in their host genome by
generating new copies to outpace natural selection. Transposable elements exert a large …

Specific ecological conditions in the high mountain environment exert a selective pressure
that often leads to convergent trait evolution. Reticulations induced by incomplete lineage …

Transposable elements (TEs) are ubiquitous in the eukaryote genomes, but their
evolutionary and functional significance remains largely obscure and contentious. Here, we …
