A 2.91-billion base pair (bp) consensus sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human
genome was generated by the whole-genome shotgun sequencing method. The 14.8-billion …

The fly Drosophila melanogaster is one of the most intensively studied organisms in biology
and serves as a model system for the investigation of many developmental and cellular …

Fullerenes have formed an integral part of high performance organic solar cells over the last
20 years, however their inherent limitations in terms of synthetic flexibility, cost and stability …

Anopheles gambiae is the principal vector of malaria, a disease that afflicts more than 500
million people and causes more than 1 million deaths each year. Tenfold shotgun sequence …

Primate-specific segmental duplications are considered important in human disease and
evolution. The inability to distinguish between allelic and duplication sequence overlap has …

Quantifying the distribution of fitness effects among newly arising mutations in the human
genome is key to resolving important debates in medical and evolutionary genetics. Here, we …

Even though human and chimpanzee gene sequences are nearly 99% identical, sequence
comparisons can nevertheless be highly informative in identifying biologically important …

As SARS-CoV-2 continues to spread and evolve, detecting emerging variants early is critical
for public health interventions. Inferring lineage prevalence by clinical testing is infeasible …

This is the first book devoted solely to bacteriophages to be published since the revival of
interest in the subject 20 years ago. Begun by the late Mark Adams, who died before …

Past demographic changes can produce distortions in patterns of genetic variation that can
mimic the appearance of natural selection unless the demographic effects are explicitly …
