The Montecristo wild goat is an endangered feral population that has been on the homonymous island in the Tuscan Archipelago since ancient times. The origins of Montecristo goats are still debated, with authors dating their introduction either back to Neol ...

Genetic signatures of divergent selection in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) are associated with the variation in temperature and precipitation across its distribution range

Elia Vajana

High genetic variation and extensive gene flow may help forest trees with adapting to ongoing climate change, yet the genetic bases underlying their adaptive potential remain largely unknown. We investigated range-wide patterns of potentially adaptive gene ...

Potential-induced nanoclustering of metallic catalysts during electrochemical CO2 reduction

Nicola Marzari, Raffaella Buonsanti, Emad Oveisi, Anna Loiudice, Oliviero Andreussi, Jianfeng Huang, Nicolas Georg Hörmann, Gian Luca De Gregorio

In catalysis science stability is as crucial as activity and selectivity. Understanding the degradation pathways occurring during operation and developing mitigation strategies will eventually improve catalyst design, thus facilitating the translation of b ...

The fitness landscape of the codon space across environments

Jeffrey David Jensen, Claudia Bank, Sebastian Matuszewski

Fitness landscapes map the relationship between genotypes and fitness. However, most fitness landscape studies ignore the genetic architecture imposed by the codon table and thereby neglect the potential role of synonymous mutations. To quantify the fitnes ...

Inference of genealogies with geolocalised genetic data

Natural populations present an abundant genetic variability. Like mutation or natural se- lection, dierent processes are at stake to generate this variability. Population genetics is a topic that emerged in the late 40's, thanks mainly to the biologists Fi ...

Coalescent inferences in conservation genetics: should the exception become the rule?

Valeria Montano

Genetic estimates of effective population size (Ne) are an established means to develop informed conservation policies. Another key goal to pursue the conservation of endangered species is keeping the connectivity across fragmented environments, to which g ...

Detecting and Quantifying Changing Selection Intensities from Time-Sampled Polymorphism Data

Jeffrey David Jensen, Matthieu Foll, Sebastian Matuszewski, Stefan Jean Laurent, Hyunjin Shim

During his well-known debate with Fisher regarding the phenotypic dataset of Panaxia dominula, Wright suggested fluctuating selection as a potential explanation for the observed change in allele frequencies. This model has since been invoked in a number of ...

An Approximate Markov Model for the Wright-Fisher Diffusion and Its Application to Time Series Data

Jeffrey David Jensen, Anna Ferrer Admetlla

The joint and accurate inference of selection and demography from genetic data is considered a particularly challenging question in population genetics, since both process may lead to very similar patterns of genetic diversity. However, additional informat ...

Many features of virus populations make them excellent candidates for population genetic study, including a very high rate of mutation, high levels of nucleotide diversity, exceptionally large census population sizes, and frequent positive selection. Howev ...

The consequences of not accounting for background selection in demographic inference

Jeffrey David Jensen, Gregory Bruce Ewing

Recently, there has been increased awareness of the role of background selection (BGS) in both data analysis and modelling advances. However, BGS is still difficult to take into account because of tractability issues with simulations and difficulty with no ...
