[PDF][PDF] Tracking five millennia of horse management with extensive ancient genome time series
Horse domestication revolutionized warfare and accelerated travel, trade, and the
geographic expansion of languages. Here, we present the largest DNA time series for a non …

Contrasting rates of molecular evolution and patterns of selection among gymnosperms and flowering plants
The majority of variation in rates of molecular evolution among seed plants remains both
unexplored and unexplained. Although some attention has been given to flowering plants …

The neutral theory in light of natural selection
In this perspective, we evaluate the explanatory power of the neutral theory of molecular
evolution, 50 years after its introduction by Kimura. We argue that the neutral theory was …

The impact of purifying and background selection on the inference of population history: problems and prospects
Current procedures for inferring population history generally assume complete neutrality—
that is, they neglect both direct selection and the effects of selection on linked sites. We here …

Fine-Grained Analysis of Spontaneous Mutation Spectrum and Frequency in Arabidopsis thaliana
Mutations are the ultimate source of all genetic variation. However, few direct estimates of
the contribution of mutation to molecular genetic variation are available. To address this …

Estimating the genome-wide contribution of selection to temporal allele frequency change
Rapid phenotypic adaptation is often observed in natural populations and selection
experiments. However, detecting the genome-wide impact of this selection is difficult since …
