The paper identifies population-specific selective sweeps in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, showing that positive selection maintains genetic structure despite gene flow.

This study evolves Chlamydomonas reinhardtii under fluctuating and constant temperatures, finding that fluctuating conditions do not hinder adaptation and allow comparable performance to specialists.

This study identifies large structural variants as drivers of parallel adaptation in Trifolium repens during global invasion.

This study identifies signatures of positive selection in urban and rural white clover populations using whole genome sequencing, revealing shared and distinct genomic regions under selection.

The paper analyzes mutation rates in healthy human tissues using single-cell data to identify genetic and epigenetic factors influencing mutability across different tissues.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome of Salvia divinorum, identifying gene clusters involved in salvinorin A biosynthesis.

The paper presents two high-quality genome assemblies for white clover, improving contiguity and accuracy for genetic and agricultural studies.

The paper examines the effects of de novo mutations on gene expression and fitness in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, finding a highly L-shaped distribution of expression effects and a negative correlation with fitness.

The paper presents genome assemblies for three Chlamydomonas species and identifies conserved elements and centromeric repeats, enhancing comparative genomics resources for this model organism.

The paper estimates the mutation rate and evolutionary relevance in a colonizing plant lineage using historical and modern genomic data.
