A common method of minimizing errors in large DNA sequence data sets is to drop variable
sites with a minor allele frequency (MAF) below some specified threshold. Although …

Genomic data are ubiquitous across disciplines, from agriculture to biodiversity, ecology,
evolution and human health. However, these datasets often contain noise or errors and are …

A faster rate of adaptive evolution of X‐linked genes compared with autosomal genes can
be caused by the fixation of recessive or partially recessive advantageous mutations, due to …

The ways in which genetic variation is distributed within and among populations is a key
determinant of the evolutionary features of a species. However, most comprehensive studies …

Balancing selection is defined as a class of selective regimes that maintain polymorphism
above what is expected under neutrality. Theory predicts that balancing selection reduces …

Colour polymorphisms play a key role in sexual selection and speciation, yet the
mechanisms that generate and maintain them are not fully understood. Here, we use …

Background The study of speciation has expanded with the increasing availability and
affordability of high-resolution genomic data. How the genome evolves throughout the …

Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation (DNAme) are thought to comprise an
invaluable adaptive toolkit in the early stages of local adaptation, especially when genetic …

The cysteine-rich transmembrane module (CYSTM) is comprised of a small molecular
protein family that is found in a diversity of tail-anchored membrane proteins across …

Daphnia are well-established ecological and evolutionary models, and the interaction
between D. magna and its microparasites is widely considered a paragon of the host …
