Remington DL 2015 Alleles versus mutations: Understanding the evolution of genetic architecture requires a molecular perspective on allelic origins. Evolution 69:3025-3038. perspectives on the role of large-effect quantitative trait loci (…
Sarkar S 2015 The genomic challenge to adaptationism. Brit J Phil Sci 66:505-536. the term 'adaptation' can be used to refer to a process (of adaptation), to a state of affairs (for instance, a state of adaptation to some environment), or …
Koonin EV 2009 Darwinian evolution in the light of genomics. Nucl Acids Res 37:1011-1034. Kimura and others realized that mutations that were (nearly) neutral at the time of fixation were not indifferent to evolution such mutations compris…
Althoff DM, Segraves KA & Johnson MTJ 2014 Testing for coevolutionary diversification: linking pattern with process. TREE 29:82-89. tests for coevolutionary diversification have focused on elucidating macroevolutionary patterns rather than…
Carmona D, Fitzpatrick CR & Johnson MTJ 2015 Fifty years of co-evolution and beyond: integrating co-evolution from molecules to species. Mol Ecol 24:5315-5329. a strong critique of the GMC is that these predicted patterns can be generated …
Manna S 2015 An overview of pentatricopeptide repeat proteins and their applications. Biochimie 113:93-99. due to the relatively low number of promoters in organelle genomes and the long half-lives of their RNAs, the use of transcriptional…
Matuszewski S, Hermisson J & Kopp M 2015 Catch me if you can: adaptation from standing genetic variation to a moving phenotypic optimum. Genetics 200:1255-1274. adaptive-walk models consider adaptation from the successive fixation of de no…
Charlesworth B 2015 What use is population genetics? Genetics 200:667-669. we are, however, a relatively small part of the genetics community our field is regarded as less important than those branches of genetics concerned with the proper…
Schrider DR, Mendes FK, Hahn MW & Kern AD 2015 Soft shoulders ahead: spurious signatures of soft and partial selective sweeps result from linked hard sweeps. Genetics, in press. doi:10.1534/genetics.115.174912 we know little about the sour…
Sousa V, Peischl S & Excoffier L 2014 Impact of range expansions on current human genomic diversity. Curr Opin Genet Dev 29:22-30. gene surfing can occur on standing variation, and it is not restricted to neutral mutations it is not restri…
Lohmueller KE 2014 The distribution of deleterious genetic variation in human populations. Curr Opin Genet Dev 29:139-146. recent population growth results in an influx of new deleterious mutations into the population selection has not yet…
