This paper shows that natural selection on heritable variation always creates conditions favoring recombination, regardless of genetic fitness distribution.

This study shows that B.1.1.7 SARS-CoV-2 variant remains neutralizable by antibodies from ancestral Spike vaccines and convalescent sera, though with reduced efficacy.

This paper shows that natural selection favors poorly-matched gene combinations and creates negative associations, which recombination breaks up, making recombination universally advantageous.

The paper quantifies the resilience and vulnerability of HIV-1's glycan shield using atomistic modeling and graph theory, revealing new insights into its structure and potential for immunogen design.
