Conserved recombination patterns across coronavirus subgenera
Recombination contributes to the genetic diversity found in coronaviruses and is known to
be a prominent mechanism whereby they evolve. It is apparent, both from controlled …

Evolutionary shortcuts via multinucleotide substitutions and their impact on natural selection analyses
Inference and interpretation of evolutionary processes, in particular of the types and targets
of natural selection affecting coding sequences, are critically influenced by the assumptions …

[PDF][PDF] Genomes of endangered great hammerhead and shortfin mako sharks reveal historic population declines and high levels of inbreeding in great hammerhead
Despite increasing threats of extinction to Elasmobranchii (sharks and rays), whole genome-based
conservation insights are lacking. Here, we present chromosome-level genome …
