Abstract. Genes that undergo horizontal gene transfer (HGT) evolve in different genomic backgrounds. Despite the ubiquity of cross-species HGT, the effects of s

A rugged yet easily navigable fitness landscape
A high number of genetic fitness peaks does not impair adaptive evolution in a large empirical fitness landscape.

🦠 Do microbiomes have their own microbiomes? 🦠
Well... kind of. Much smaller than bacteria, there is a whole zoo of Darwinian entities that depend on microbial hosts. We could call these collectives "nanobiomes", and there's much to explore!

Well, one of my favorite papers (3rd fav!) of my career was just published at @eLife. Here, we do what we do best: generate new understanding of the factors shaping multicellular evolution through a combo of synthetic biology, exptl evolution and theory. elifesciences.org/articles/84336
Evolutionary consequences of nascent multicellular life cycles
Clonal development, but not aggregation, promotes the transition of Darwinian individuality from cells to groups, emphasizing the fundamental role of initial multicellular life cycles in the evolution...
