Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neuro-inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease that is most
prevalent in Northern Europe. Although it is known that inherited risk for MS is located within …

Similar forms often evolve repeatedly in nature, raising long-standing questions about the
underlying mechanisms. Here, we use repeated evolution in stickleback to identify a large …

Novel technologies for recovering DNA information from archaeological and historical
specimens have made available an ever-increasing amount of temporally spaced genetic …

Detecting genomic regions under selection is an important objective of population genetics.
Typical analyses for this goal are based on exploiting genetic diversity patterns in present …

The human microbiome has been implicated in affecting health outcomes in premature
infants, but the ecological processes governing early life microbiome assembly remain …

Natural selection on beneficial or deleterious alleles results in an increase or decrease,
respectively, of their frequency within the population. Due to chromosomal linkage, the …

For over a decade, experimental evolution has been combined with high‐throughput
sequencing techniques. In so‐called Evolve‐and‐Resequence (E&R) experiments …

Detecting and quantifying the strength of selection is a main objective in population
genetics. Since selection acts over multiple generations, many approaches have been …

Innovations in ancient DNA (aDNA) preparation and sequencing technologies have
exponentially increased the quality and quantity of aDNA data extracted from ancient …
