OmegaSwitch estimates dN/dS ratios across sites and evolutionary lineages using Bayesian Markov-modulated codon models, showing well-calibrated posterior intervals in simulations.

The paper analyzes the nuclear genomes of Mesodinium rubrum and finds it lacks spliceosomal introns and related machinery, suggesting introns hinder endosymbiotic genomic integration.

This paper introduces a phylogenetic occupancy model to infer gene presence in incomplete genomes, outperforming existing methods and enabling ancestral-state reconstruction.

This paper presents a new genome assembly for Amoebophrya sp. ex Karlodinium veneficum, revealing genomic diversity and contextual stop codon translation.
