Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) enters human host cells
via angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-…

The use of molecular taxonomy for identifying recently diverged species has transformed
the study of speciation in fungi. The pathogenic fungus Paracoccidioides spp has been …

Hybrids between species are often sterile or inviable because the long-diverged genomes of
their parents cause developmental problems when they come together in a single individual…

Determining the extent of adaptive evolution at the genomic level is central to our
understanding of molecular evolution. A suitable observation for this purpose would consist of …

Histoplasma capsulatum is a pathogenic fungus that causes life-threatening lung infections.
About 500,000 people are exposed to H. capsulatum each year in the United States, and …

… David A Turissini , David A Turissini … This observation has been reported before and is
consistent with the action of reinforcement (Turissini et al. 2015). Second, and contrary to the …

The process of speciation involves populations diverging over time until they are genetically
and reproductively isolated. Hybridization between nascent species was long thought to …

Over the past few years, symptoms akin to late blight disease have been reported on a
variety of crop plants in South America. Despite the economic importance of these crops, the …

SARS-CoV-2 enters host cells by binding angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Through
a genome-wide association study, we show that a rare variant (MAF= 0.3%, odds ratio 0.60…

… As proposed in the original description of the method (Turissini and Matute 2017), we
assumed starting probabilities for each SNP follow a Poisson distribution with a constant …
