Mutation choice biases the structure of empirical fitness landscapes

The paper examines how mutation selection biases affect fitness landscape statistics in random models and real datasets, showing inflated variance and altered local maxima under adaptive trajectory mutations.

Robust detection of specific epistasis using rank statistics

This paper introduces a method to detect specific epistasis by analyzing rank statistics in mutagenesis experiments, achieving accuracy comparable to more complex methods.

Polygenic score accuracy in ancient samples: quantifying the effects of allelic turnover

This paper quantifies how allelic turnover affects polygenic score accuracy in ancient samples using theoretical models and simulations.

Multivariate Genome-wide Association Analyses Reveal the Genetic Basis of Seed Fatty Acid Composition in Oat (Avena sativa L.)

The paper identifies genetic loci associated with seed fatty acid composition in oat using multivariate GWAS approaches, finding more significant SNPs than univariate analyses.
