Our current understanding of speciation is often based on considering a relatively small number
of genes, sometimes in isolation of one another. Here, we describe a possible emergent …

Background Previously, 3% of the human genome has been annotated as simple sequence
repeats (SSRs), similar to the proportion annotated as protein coding. The origin of much of …

Most common methods for inferring transposable element (TE) evolutionary relationships
are based on dividing TEs into subfamilies using shared diagnostic nucleotides. Although …

… of A➔C and A➔G substitutions that would result from GC-biased allelic gene conversion. The
100 bp flanking regions of depleted motifs show substantially elevated rates of A➔C and A➔…

Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, particularly with type 16, causes a growing
fraction of oropharyngeal cancers, whose incidence is increasing, mainly in developed …

Three genetic loci for lung cancer risk have been identified by genome-wide association
