Estimating the rate of quantitative trait evolution in the presence of gene tree discordance by calculating likelihoods across trees
Quantitative traits provide insights into how phenotypes evolve across species. However, standard comparative methods often assume a single species tree and overlook the discordant gene tree histories...

Inconsistency of parsimony under the multispecies coalescent
While it is known that parsimony can be statistically inconsistent under certain models of evolution due to high levels of homoplasy, the consistency …

Low mutation rate but high male-bias in the germline of a short-lived opossum
Abstract. Age and sex have been found to be important determinants of the mutation rate per generation in mammals, but the mechanisms underlying these fact

In #GENETICS, @3rdreviewer.bsky.social and @smishra677.bsky.social show it is possible to estimate recombination solely using the allele frequency spectrum and provide a genealogical interpretation of the results, showing how #MachineLearning can provide insights into biology.

Estimating recombination using only the allele frequency spectrum
Standard methods for estimating the population recombination parameter, rho, are dependent on sampling individual genotypes and calculating various types of disequilibria. However, recent machine lear...
