The heterogeneity in the landscape of gene dominance in maize is accompanied by unique chromatin environments
Subgenome dominance after whole-genome duplication (WGD) has been observed in many
plant species. However, the degree to which the chromatin environment affects this bias has …

Hunting for beneficial mutations: conditioning on SIFT scores when estimating the distribution of fitness effect of new mutations
The distribution of fitness effects (DFE) of new mutations is a key parameter of molecular
evolution. The DFE can in principle be estimated by comparing the site frequency spectra …
