[HTML][HTML] Natural selection affects multiple aspects of genetic variation at putatively neutral sites across the human genome

…, G Tian, E Huerta-Sanchez, AF Feder… - PLoS …, 2011 - journals.plos.org
A major question in evolutionary biology is how natural selection has shaped patterns of
genetic variation across the human genome. Previous work has documented a reduction in …

Identifying signatures of selection in genetic time series

AF Feder, S Kryazhimskiy, JB Plotkin - Genetics, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Both genetic drift and natural selection cause the frequencies of alleles in a population to vary
over time. Discriminating between these two evolutionary forces, based on a time series of …

[HTML][HTML] LDx: estimation of linkage disequilibrium from high-throughput pooled resequencing data

AF Feder, DA Petrov, AO Bergland - PloS one, 2012 - journals.plos.org
High-throughput pooled resequencing offers significant potential for whole genome population
sequencing. However, its main drawback is the loss of haplotype information. In order to …

[HTML][HTML] State-dependent evolutionary models reveal modes of solid tumour growth

…, T Bedford, NF Müller, AF Feder - Nature Ecology & …, 2023 - nature.com
Spatial properties of tumour growth have profound implications for cancer progression,
therapeutic resistance and metastasis. Yet, how spatial position governs tumour cell division …

More effective drugs lead to harder selective sweeps in the evolution of drug resistance in HIV-1

AF Feder, SY Rhee, SP Holmes, RW Shafer, DA Petrov… - Elife, 2016 - elifesciences.org
10.7554/eLife.10670.001 In the early days of HIV treatment, drug resistance occurred rapidly
and predictably in all patients, but under modern treatments, resistance arises slowly, if at …

[HTML][HTML] Brain tropism acquisition: The spatial dynamics and evolution of a measles virus collective infectious unit that drove lethal subacute sclerosing …

…, DC Schroeder, WJ Shieh, PA Rota, AF Feder… - PLoS …, 2023 - journals.plos.org
It is increasingly appreciated that pathogens can spread as infectious units constituted by
multiple, genetically diverse genomes, also called collective infectious units or genome …

The population genetics of drug resistance evolution in natural populations of viral, bacterial and eukaryotic pathogens

BA Wilson, NR Garud, AF Feder, ZJ Assaf… - Molecular …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Drug resistance is a costly consequence of pathogen evolution and a major concern in public
health. In this review, we show how population genetics can be used to study the evolution …

Understanding patterns of HIV multi-drug resistance through models of temporal and spatial drug heterogeneity

AF Feder, KN Harper, CJ Brumme, PS Pennings - Elife, 2021 - elifesciences.org
Triple-drug therapies have transformed HIV from a fatal condition to a chronic one. These
therapies should prevent HIV drug resistance evolution, because one or more drugs suppress …

Evolutionary dynamics in structured populations under strong population genetic forces

AF Feder, PS Pennings, J Hermisson… - G3: Genes, Genomes …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
In the long-term neutral equilibrium, high rates of migration between subpopulations result
in little population differentiation. However, in the short-term, even very abundant migration …

[HTML][HTML] The clarifying role of time series data in the population genetics of HIV

AF Feder, PS Pennings, DA Petrov - PLoS genetics, 2021 - journals.plos.org
HIV can evolve remarkably quickly in response to antiretroviral therapies and the immune
system. This evolution stymies treatment effectiveness and prevents the development of an …
