Population genomics of rapid adaptation by soft selective sweeps

PW Messer, DA Petrov - Trends in ecology & evolution, 2013 - cell.com
Organisms can often adapt surprisingly quickly to evolutionary challenges, such as the
application of pesticides or antibiotics, suggesting an abundant supply of adaptive genetic …

Extant timetrees are consistent with a myriad of diversification histories

S Louca, MW Pennell - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
Time-calibrated phylogenies of extant species (referred to here as 'extant timetrees') are
widely used for estimating diversification dynamics. However, there has been considerable …

What Is Ne, Anyway?

RS Waples - Journal of Heredity, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Few doubt that effective population size (N e) is one of the most important parameters in
evolutionary biology, but how many can say they really understand the concept? N e is the …

On the importance of being structured: instantaneous coalescence rates and human evolution—lessons for ancestral population size inference?

O Mazet, W Rodríguez, S Grusea, S Boitard, L Chikhi - Heredity, 2016 - nature.com
Most species are structured and influenced by processes that either increased or reduced
gene flow between populations. However, most population genetic inference methods …

Discordance of species trees with their most likely gene trees

JH Degnan, NA Rosenberg - PLoS genetics, 2006 - journals.plos.org
Because of the stochastic way in which lineages sort during speciation, gene trees may
differ in topology from each other and from species trees. Surprisingly, assuming that genetic …

The confounding effect of population structure on Bayesian skyline plot inferences of demographic history

R Heller, L Chikhi, HR Siegismund - PloS one, 2013 - journals.plos.org
Many coalescent-based methods aiming to infer the demographic history of populations
assume a single, isolated and panmictic population (ie a Wright-Fisher model). While this …

Soft sweeps and beyond: understanding the patterns and probabilities of selection footprints under rapid adaptation

J Hermisson, PS Pennings - Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The tempo and mode of adaptive evolution determine how natural selection shapes patterns
of genetic diversity in DNA polymorphism data. While slow mutation‐limited adaptation …

Navigating the temporal continuum of effective population size

K Nadachowska‐Brzyska, M Konczal… - Methods in Ecology …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Effective population size, Ne, is a key evolutionary parameter that determines the levels of
genetic variation and efficacy of selection. Estimation and interpretation of Ne are essential …

[图书][B] Probability models for DNA sequence evolution

R Durrett, R Durrett - 2008 - Springer
Our basic question is: Given a collection of DNA sequences, what underlying forces are
responsible for the observed patterns of variability? To approach this question we introduce …
