   Universal and taxon-specific trends in protein sequences as a function of age

   Jennifer E James et al.

   Ancient protein domains remain shaped by amino acid availability during early life, while young animal proteins are shaped by a need for high intrinsic structural disorder.

   Rapid adaptation to malaria facilitated by admixture in the human population of Cabo Verde

   Iman Hamid et al.

   Admixture-mediated adaptation to malaria in a human population demonstrates that detectible signatures in genomic patterns of ancestry can be leveraged to better characterize recent selection in populations with mixed ancestry.

   Phenotypic and molecular evolution across 10,000 generations in laboratory budding yeast populations

   Milo S Johnson et al.

   Experimentally evolved yeast populations increase in fitness predictably but do not divide into coexisting lineages or dramatically increase their mutation rates after 10,000 generations.

   Evolutionary conflicts and adverse effects of antiviral factors

   Daniel Sauter, Frank Kirchhoff

   Innate antiviral factors do not always perfectly distinguish between self and foreign, and potential adverse effects of antiviral defense mechanisms for the host have been discussed.
