This study tracks four-year microbial community evolution in two environments, showing how adaptive mutations in one species can cause abrupt community state shifts.

The paper shows that existing mapping functions fail to predict recombination frequency from map distance in high-density data and proposes a new piecewise function for better accuracy.

The paper improves a stickleback reference genome assembly using Lep-Anchor software, enhancing contiguity and haploidy while reducing haplotypic contigs and detecting more genetic variation.
