[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
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
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
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
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 …

…, 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
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
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
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
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 …
