An organism Tree of Life (organism ToL) is a conceptual and metaphorical tree to capture a simplified narrative of the evolutionary course and kinship among the extant organisms of today. Such tree cannot be experimentally validated, but may be reconstructed based on characteristics associated with the organisms. Since the whole genome sequence of an organism is, at present, the most comprehensive descriptor of the organism, a genome Tol can be an empirically derivable surrogate for the organism...

Novel pathogens can cause massive declines in populations, but seldom lead to extirpation of hosts. Rather, disease can act as a selective pressure on survivors, driving the evolution of resistance or tolerance. Bat white-nose syndrome (WNS) is a rapidly spreading wildlife disease in North America. The fungus causing the disease invades skin tissues of hibernating bats, resulting in disruption of hibernation behavior, premature energy depletion, and subsequent death. We use whole-genome sequencing...

Identification of gene expression traits unique to the human brain sheds light on the mechanisms of human cognition. Here we searched for gene expression traits separating humans from other primates by analyzing 88,047 cell nuclei and 422 tissue samples representing 33 brain regions of humans, chimpanzees, bonobos, and macaques. We show that gene expression evolves rapidly within cell types, with more than two-thirds of cell type-specific differences not detected using conventional RNA sequencing...

In this brief communication we further discuss the relationship between the rate of protein evolution and the misfolding avoidance hypothesis (MAH), as it was originally proposed. We also discuss results of empirical tests of the MAH, and demonstrate the lack of any substantial correlation between protein stability, quantified by protein folding free energy, and protein evolutionary rates. Based on multiple available evidence, the MAH is unlikely to play any major role in explaining a strong negative...

Confidence intervals (CIs) depict the statistical uncertainty surrounding evolutionary divergence time estimates. They capture variance contributed by the finite number of sequences and sites used in the alignment, deviations of evolutionary rates from a strict molecular clock in a phylogeny, and uncertainty associated with clock calibrations. Reliable tests of biological hypotheses demand reliable CIs. However, current non-Bayesian methods may produce unreliable CIs because they do not incorporate...

In human and other hominid (great apes) populations, estimates of the relative levels of neutral polymorphism on the X and autosomes differ from each other and from the naive theoretical expectation of 3/4. These differences have garnered considerable attention over the past decade, with studies highlighting the potential importance of several factors, including historical changes in population size and linked selection near genes. Here, we examine a more realistic neutral model than has been considered...

Sex-specific selection pressures can generate different phenotypic optima for males and females in response to the current environment, i.e. sex differences in phenotypic plasticity. Less widely appreciated is the possibility that transgenerational plasticity (TGP) can also depend on sex. Sex-specific TGP is potentially of great evolutionary significance, as it is a mechanism by which mothers and fathers can exert different effects on offspring traits and by which potentially adaptive traits can...

A large and growing fraction of systematists define species as independently evolving lineages that may be recognized by analyzing the population genetic history of alleles sampled from individuals belonging to those species. This has motivated the development of increasingly sophisticated statistical models rooted in the multispecies coalescent process. Specifically, these models allow for simultaneous estimation of the number of species present in a sample of individuals and the phylogenetic history...

Understanding the persistence of genetic variation within populations has long been a goal of evolutionary biology. One promising route towards achieving this goal is using population genetic approaches to describe how selection acts on the loci associated with trait variation. In particular, gene expression provides a model trait for addressing the challenge of the maintenance of variation because it can be measured genome-wide without information about how gene expression affects traits. Previous...

Flower colour polymorphism (FCP) is frequently associated with differences in pollinator attraction. FCP maintenance is intriguing, as positive directional selection by pollinators should result in the loss of polymorphism. Autonomous selfing could confer reproductive assurance when pollen is limited, and could be a mechanism for maintaining polymorphism unless inbreeding depression is high. We study the role of selfing in maintaining FCP in Lysimachia arvensis, a species with blue and red morphs...
