Inference of distribution of fitness effects and proportion of adaptive substitutions from polymorphism data

This paper develops a method to infer the distribution of fitness effects and proportion of adaptive substitutions from polymorphism data alone, showing it provides more reliable estimates than methods relying on divergence data.

Limits to adaptation in partially selfing species

This study examines how adaptation rates are affected by selfing and outcrossing in partially selfing species, finding that loss of weaker adaptive alleles during selective sweeps and reduced recombination effects limit adaptation in selfing organisms.

Introns structure patterns of variation in nucleotide composition in Arabidopsis thaliana and rice protein-coding genes

The paper examines how intron number and position influence G + C content variation in protein-coding genes of Arabidopsis thaliana and rice.

Quantification of GC-biased gene conversion in the human genome

This paper quantifies GC-biased gene conversion (gBGC) in the human genome using a new method that accounts for polarization errors and spatial heterogeneity, revealing that gBGC is concentrated in recombination hotspots.
