  1. ...by interfering with the propagation of MGEs, several empirical and theoretical observations suggest that the relation between defense systems and HGT might be more complex. First, the selection pressure to maintain defense systems in a population (and consequently their prevalence) generally increases...
  2. ...million years). Despite this stable pace, we observe distinct patterns in phenotypic enrichment, pleiotropy, and selective pressures across gene ages. Young genes show significant enrichment in diseases related to the male reproductive system, indicating strong sexual selection. Young genes also exhibit...
  3. ...dominated by genetic drift, with extremely low diversity, variable Tajima's D, and very high divergence from continental conspecifics. Increased dN/dS ratios over a wide range of genes in Orkney voles indicated -wide relaxation of purifying selection. We found evidence of hard sweeps on key genes...
  4. ...of selection relative to drift (Ohta 1972, 1992; Charlesworth 2009; Chen et al. 2017), an idea supported by studies showing that populations with larger Ne experience stronger selection efficacy (Lynch and Conery 2003; Gossmann et al. 2012).View larger version: In this window In a new window Figure 1...
  5. ...of selective pressures imposed on its sequence, hence is linked to the relative functional importance of the corresponding protein or protein domain for a given species. Typically, highly constrained coding regions correspond to loci whereas mutations are either associated with disease or are completely absent...
  6. ...selection (Greenman et al. 2007). A single-gene illustration is the TCGA-wide cohort integral of DNAH5, a large and frequently mutated gene that has not, to the best of our knowledge, been associated with cancer and that appears free of any selection pressure (P = 0.84) (Supplemental Fig. S2A...
  7. ...identifying feature. The classic example is the analysis of selective constraints on protein-coding genes evident from the depletion of missense or nonsense genetic variants. These advances, however, are not directly translatable to the analysis of noncoding DNA, which has increasingly become a focus of human...
  8. .... In terms of protein sequence, for example, the lower sequence evolution in the phylotypic period appears to be caused by both strong purifying selection and weak positive selection (Liu and Robinson-Rechavi 2018a,b; Coronado-Zamora et al. 2019). To investigate the underlying regulatory mechanisms, as well...
  9. ...; Supplemental Table S2; Supplemental Figs. S1, S3). This supports a scenario in which subterranean species do not experience higher rates of positive selection, but instead evolve under reduced purifying selection efficacy. We next tested the adaptive dN/dS increase scenario using polymorphism data. Under...
  10. .... For example, functionally active parts of proteins are more susceptible to selective pressure, and active sites of enzymes evolve significantly slower than other parts of the protein (Dean et al. 2002). On the other hand, parts exposed to the solvent protein surface evolve much faster (Franzosa and Xia 2009...
