Soft sweeps: molecular population genetics of adaptation from standing genetic variation
J Hermisson, PS Pennings - Genetics, 2005 - academic.oup.com
A population can adapt to a rapid environmental change or habitat expansion in two ways. It
may adapt either through new beneficial mutations that subsequently sweep through the …

Soft sweeps II—molecular population genetics of adaptation from recurrent mutation or migration
PS Pennings, J Hermisson - Molecular biology and evolution, 2006 - academic.oup.com
In the classical model of molecular adaptation, a favored allele derives from a single mutational
origin. This ignores that beneficial alleles can enter a population recurrently, either by …

[HTML][HTML] Soft sweeps III: the signature of positive selection from recurrent mutation
PS Pennings, J Hermisson - PLoS genetics, 2006 - journals.plos.org
… In this study, Pennings and Hermisson use analytical tools and coalescent simulations to
describe this soft-sweep pattern. They show that this pattern is characterized by strong linkage …

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 …

[HTML][HTML] HIV drug resistance: problems and perspectives
PS Pennings - Infectious disease reports, 2013 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
… In Pennings, 13 it was shown that the high probability of resistance after sdNVP is likely due
to the combination of monotherapy with a high abundance of pre-existing NNRTI mutations. …

Imperfect drug penetration leads to spatial monotherapy and rapid evolution of multidrug resistance
Infections with rapidly evolving pathogens are often treated using combinations of drugs with
different mechanisms of action. One of the major goal of combination therapy is to reduce …

[HTML][HTML] Loss and recovery of genetic diversity in adapting populations of HIV
PS Pennings, S Kryazhimskiy, J Wakeley - PLoS genetics, 2014 - journals.plos.org
The evolution of drug resistance in HIV occurs by the fixation of specific, well-known, drug-resistance
mutations, but the underlying population genetic processes are not well understood…
