Ecol Evol
. 2024 Sep;
14(9):e11143.
PMID: 39234161
Intracellular plant defense against pathogens is mediated by a class of disease resistance genes known as NB-LRRs or NLRs (R genes). Many of the diseases these genes protect against are...

115(6):672-681.
PMID: 38842146
Male mice who are heterozygous for distorting and non-distorting alleles at the t-haplotype transmit the driving t-haplotype around 90% of the time-a drastic departure from Mendelian expectations. This selfish act...

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2024 Mar;
121(12):e2316008121.
PMID: 38466849
Introgression is pervasive across the tree of life but varies across taxa, geography, and genomic regions. However, the factors modulating this variation and how they may be affected by global...

Proc Biol Sci
. 2024 Mar;
291(2018):20232467.
PMID: 38444336
Despite the potential for mechanical, developmental and/or chemical mechanisms to prevent self-fertilization, incidental self-fertilization is inevitable in many predominantly outcrossing species. In such cases, inbreeding can compromise individual fitness. Unquestionably,...

Ecol Evol
. 2024 Feb;
14(2):e10980.
PMID: 38371869
Much research on the evolution of altruism via kin selection, group selection, and reciprocity focuses on the role of a single locus or quantitative trait. Very few studies have explored...

Thompson K, Brandvain Y, Coughlan J, Delmore K, Justen H, Linnen C, et al.
Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol
. 2023 Dec;
16(9).
PMID: 38151331
Ecologically mediated selection against hybrids, caused by hybrid phenotypes fitting poorly into available niches, is typically viewed as distinct from selection caused by epistatic Dobzhansky-Muller hybrid incompatibilities. Here, we show...

Munasinghe M, Read A, Stitzer M, Song B, Menard C, Ma K, et al.
PLoS Genet
. 2023 Dec;
19(12):e1011086.
PMID: 38134220
Structural differences between genomes are a major source of genetic variation that contributes to phenotypic differences. Transposable elements, mobile genetic sequences capable of increasing their copy number and propagating themselves...

Brandvain Y, Sianta S
PLoS Biol
. 2023 Sep;
21(9):e3002322.
PMID: 37773919
The integrity of hybridizing species is usually maintained by genome-wide selection or by selection on a few genomic regions. A study published in PLOS Biology finds a different pattern-60 SNPs...

Munasinghe M, Springer N, Brandvain Y
Evolution
. 2023 Jul;
77(10):2173-2185.
PMID: 37519088
It is unclear how mobile DNA sequences (transposable elements, hereafter TEs) invade eukaryotic genomes and reach stable copy numbers, as transposition can decrease host fitness. This challenge is particularly stark...

PMID: 37130237
AbstractSimple polyembryony, where one gametophyte produces multiple embryos with different sires but the same maternal haplotype, is common among vascular plants. We develop an infinite-sites, forward population genetics model showing...
