The paper analyzes mtDNA mutation dynamics in human oocytes and finds evidence of positive selection for noncoding and coding mutations, suggesting a shift from positive to purifying selection upon inheritance.

EukPhylo v1.0 improves phylogenomic analysis of eukaryotes by enabling contamination removal, gene family estimation, and transparent, repeatable tree construction.

This study evaluates antibody responses to mosquitoes and arboviruses using a multiplexed phage display library to identify epitopes and antigens associated with exposure.

This study uses single-cell transcriptomes to reveal cryptic species and phylogenetic relationships in Spirostomum ciliates, identifying at least nine cryptic species.

The paper reanalyzes mtDNA mutation data from human primordial germ cells, identifies NUMT contamination, and suggests that selection in PGCs may be positive rather than negative.

The paper proposes the existence of 'stem' and 'worker' mtDNA subpopulations based on mutational analysis and HiFi read data, suggesting differential roles in replication and oxidative phosphorylation.

This paper shows that the m.3243A>G mtDNA mutation levels in blood change in a bi-phasic way with age, requiring an age correction dependent on mutation level, and finds evidence for positive germline selection of this mutation.
