FREEDA: an automated computational pipeline guides experimental testing of protein innovation by detecting positive selection

D. Dudka, R. B. Akins, M. A. Lampson

FREEDA identifies positive selection in proteins to detect functional innovations, applied to mouse centromere proteins to show evolutionary changes in essential functions.

Centromere drive and suppression by parallel pathways for recruiting microtubule destabilizers

T. Kumon, J. Ma, D. Stefanik, E. C. Nordgren, R. B. Akins, J. Kim, M. T. Levine, M. Lampson

The paper shows that centromere drive is suppressed by two parallel pathways, with heterochromatin and kinetochore pathways differing in their suppression of selfish DNA effects.
