Orthologs document the evolution of genes and metabolic capacities encoded in extant and ancient genomes. However, the similarity between orthologs decays with time, and …
The most common evolutionary events at the molecular level are single-base substitutions, as well as insertions and deletions (indels) of short DNA segments. A large body of research …
Selective sweeps occur when a beneficial mutation spreads rapidly throughout the population due to natural selection. Searching for selective sweeps has proved to be one of …
