… This so far limited sample suggests that b 0 varies substantially among species and could
be inversely correlated with N e , perhaps explaining the absence of a N e effect on gBGC …

… The best hit was kept for each gene provided that e value was below 1e-10. The rationale
of conducting a TBLASTN research, instead of BLASTN, is the higher conservation of amino …

Comparative population genetics in asexual vs. sexual species offers the opportunity to
investigate the impact of asexuality on genome evolution. Here, we analyse coding sequence …

… The distinctive response of π N /π S and d N /d S to LHTs might potentially result from a
particularly fast rate of evolution of N e in birds, such that the current N e , which should …

Recombination is a fundamental process with significant impacts on genome evolution.
Predicted consequences of the loss of recombination include a reduced effectiveness of …

Mammalian and avian genomes are characterized by a substantial spatial heterogeneity of
GC-content, which is often interpreted as reflecting the effect of local GC-biased gene …

Sex strongly impacts genome evolution via recombination and segregation. In the absence
of these processes, haplotypes within lineages of diploid organisms are predicted to …

… size N e , mutations of selection coefficient s >> 1/N e should accumulate at rate ~4N e μ a s
if … linearly with the population mutation rate θ = 4N e μ (where μ is the total mutation rate) [3]. …

The shift from sexual reproduction to parthenogenesis has occurred repeatedly in animals,
but how the loss of sex affects genome evolution remains poorly understood. We generated …

Recombination is expected to affect functional sequence evolution in several ways. On the
one hand, recombination is thought to improve the efficiency of multilocus selection by …
