The face of evolutionary biology is changing: from reconstructing and analysing the past to
predicting future evolutionary processes. Recent developments include prediction of …

Natural selection favors fitter variants in a population, but actual evolutionary processes may
decrease fitness by mutations and genetic drift. How is the stochastic evolution of molecular …

… I will therefore denote all quantities in the minimal subtraction scheme by the subscript M,
and reserve the term "… More generally, we define the normal-ordered m-line contact fields …

… We focus on the temperature dependence of the scales ξ(m). For fixed g, ξ(m) is
monotonically increasing with temperature according to (3.61). This is not surprising since it is …

A key step in the process of genetic transcription is the binding of one or several transcription
factors to specific sites in the regulatory region of a gene. These binding sites may differ …

Evolution is a quest for innovation. Organisms adapt to changing natural selection by evolving
new phenotypes. Can we read this dynamics in their genomes? Not every mutation under …

The seasonal influenza A virus undergoes rapid evolution to escape human immune response.
Adaptive changes occur primarily in antigenic epitopes, the antibody-binding domains of …

… of stable particles above threshold with fixed mass ratios m;/m, [9,26,181, and this requires
fine… 2 we can read off the order of magnitude of such matrix elements to be M- 10-'m 1. But the …

Seasonal influenza is controlled through vaccination campaigns. Evolution of influenza
virus antigens means that vaccines must be updated to match novel strains, and vaccine …

The large-scale evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been marked by rapid turnover of
genetic clades. New variants show intrinsic changes, notably increased transmissibility, and …
