Our new paper on long-term genetic threats to small populations finds that #MutationalMeltdown (bad mutations fixing) is less of a problem than "mutational drought" (too few good new mutations) @wmawass @uliseshmc @jdmatheson https://royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article/293/2072/20260600/481996/Extinction-vortices-are-driven-more-by-a-shortage #ConservationGenetics #EvolutionaryRescue #PopulationGenetics #EvolGenPaper 1/5

Our new #preprint changes the way we look at an “extinction vortex” in which a small population loses fitness, causing it to become even smaller https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.10.25.620329v1.

Our latest paper https://elifesciences.org/articles/87335
directly measures the #EffectivePopulationSize that matters to #NearlyNeutralTheory / #DriftBarrier theory, as the degree to which #CodonBias differs from expectations from GC content. Surprisingly, stronger #NaturalSelection -> higher #IntrinsicStructuralDisorder proteins

Our latest #preprint https://ecoevorxiv.org/repository/view/6959/ explains why fitness can be defined in so many ways, and which version(s) you should use when. Fitness quantifies what #NaturalSelection favors. @gdoulcier #EvolGenPaper #Evolution 1/

Such a cool system. A fun project to work on. First DMI in maize I believe. And cool meiotic drive, sRNA, and teosinte introgression. #EvolgenPaper https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.07.12.548689v1

Our preprint describes how #EffectivePopulationSize affects #AminoAcid usage. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.02.01.526552v2. Within highly exchangeable pairs of amino acids, high Ne species are able to prefer #arginine over #lysine, and #valine over #isoleucine. This matches #thermophile preferences, as expected from theories of marginal protein stability at mutation-selection-drift balance. 1/6

Delighted to share our new Science #EvolgenPaper! https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abn3107
We introduce #TOGA, a #ComparativeGenomics method that combines the detection of orthologous genes with gene annotation. In plain words, TOGA can take advantage of a well-annotated #genome and transfer its annotations to a genome of a different species (e.g., from the human genome to that of a squirrel). 1/2

Neat new #EvolgenPaper by @gvbarroso.
The landscape of nucleotide diversity in Drosophila melanogaster is shaped by mutation rate variation:
https://peercommunityjournal.org/articles/10.24072/pcjournal.267/
Excited to sit down with this one!

Our extensively revised preprint now goes beyond clarifying Haldane’s arguments about the #CostOfSelection / #SubstitutionalLoad / #SelectiveDeaths, it also significantly extends them, and applies the resulting model to data https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.11.01.466728v2

Out today in PNAS: "The paradox of adaptive trait clines with nonclinal patterns in the underlying genes" https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2220313120 This study shows that under complex multivariate adaptation, trait clines can evolve despite nonmonotonic allele frequency patterns across environmental gradients. These patterns are not discovered by genotype–environment association methods, which are widely used to discover adaptation. #EvolutionPaper #EcoEvo #SLiM #Genetics #Genomics #EvolgenPaper #PopGen

New preprint by
Carl Veller and myself on the interpretation of population and family-based genome-wide association studies in the presence of confoundinghttps://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.02.26.530052v1
#GWAS interpretation is tricky, for three broad reasons: indirect effects of relatives, genetic confounding, and environmental confounding—where genetic confounding (long-distance LD) arises due to population structure, assortative mating, and selection. #EvolgenPaper

Recently we also evaluated how well a widely-used method called "gradient forests" performs for the estimation of "genomic vulnerability". In this paper we highlight some strengths and weaknesses of the approach. Notably, genetic drift can cause small populations to have large "offset" values, highlighting issues with current interpretations and estimations. #EvolutionPaper #Evolution #EvolGenPaper https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/eva.13354
