Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. There is a definite need for novel
approaches to improve the diagnostics and treatment of cancers. The pathological …

Advancing technologies have facilitated the ever‐widening application of genetic markers
such as microsatellites into new systems and research questions in biology. In light of the …

What are the models used in phylogenetic analysis and what exactly is involved in Bayesian
evolutionary analysis using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods? How can you …

We present a new open source, extensible and flexible software platform for Bayesian
evolutionary analysis called BEAST 2. This software platform is a re-design of the popular …

Wright's F-statistics, and especially F ST, provide important insights into the evolutionary
processes that influence the structure of genetic variation within and among populations …

Genetic data are often used to assess 'population connectivity'because it is difficult to
measure dispersal directly at large spatial scales. Genetic connectivity, however, depends …

Connectivity, or the exchange of individuals among marine populations, is a central topic in
marine ecology. For most benthic marine species with complex life cycles, this exchange …

For many biological investigations, groups of individuals are genetically sampled from
several geographic locations. These sampling locations often do not reflect the genetic …

The advent and maturation of algorithms for estimating species trees—phylogenetic trees
that allow gene tree heterogeneity and whose tips represent lineages, populations and …

Analyses of genome sequence data have revealed pervasive interspecific gene flow and
enriched our understanding of the role of gene flow in speciation and adaptation. Inference …
