TP53 copy number expansion is associated with the evolution of increased body size and an enhanced DNA damage response in elephants
A major constraint on the evolution of large body sizes in animals is an increased risk of
develo** cancer. There is no correlation, however, between body size and cancer risk …

Current methods for automated filtering of multiple sequence alignments frequently worsen single-gene phylogenetic inference
Phylogenetic inference is generally performed on the basis of multiple sequence alignments
(MSA). Because errors in an alignment can lead to errors in tree estimation, there is a strong …
