The evolution of genetic drift over 50,000 generations

Joao A Ascensao, QinQin Yu, Oskar Hallatschek

This study shows that genetic drift strength evolves over 50,000 generations in E. coli populations, with one population showing significantly stronger drift due to increased stochasticity.

Diversity and evolution of a phase-variable multi-locus antigen in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

QinQin Yu, Tatum D. Mortimer, Susanne Blomqvist, Bailey Bowcutt, David Helekal, Samantha G. Palace, Yonatan H. Grad

The paper uses long-read sequencing to analyze opa gene diversity in Neisseria gonorrhoeae genomes, revealing high variability and rapid evolution of these genes.
