Deep data mining reveals variable abundance and distribution of microbial reproductive manipulators within and among diverse host species

P. Medina, S. Russell, K. Aswadhati, R. Corbett-Detig

The paper uses data mining to analyze microbial reproductive manipulators in host species, finding Wolbachia infects most arthropods and nematodes, with host species explaining significant variation in bacterial density.

Estimating the timing of multiple admixture pulses during local ancestry inference.

P. Medina, B. Thornlow, R. Nielsen, R. Corbett-Detig

This paper introduces a method to estimate multiple admixture events using coalescent theory and applies it to Drosophila melanogaster data, finding evidence for both recent and ancient admixture pulses.
