   Eco-evolutionary dynamics of adapting pathogens and host immunity

   Pierre Barrat-Charlaix, Richard A Neher

   Diverse histories of viral exposure, for example in individuals of different age, makes viral evolution less predictable with features of adaptive and neutral evolution.

   The emergence and evolution of gene expression in genome regions replete with regulatory motifs

   Timothy Fuqua, Yiqiao Sun, Andreas Wagner

   Mutagenizing sequences enriched with promoter motifs creates gene expression de novo, and helps to understand promoter logic, regulatory evolution, and the birth of de novo genes.

   Matthew Osmond, Graham Coop

   A new method to infer the spatial history of genetic ancestors from a sequence of trees along a recombining genome.

    Discarded sequencing reads uncover natural variation in pest resistance in Thlaspi arvense

    Dario Galanti, Jun Hee Jung ... Oliver Bossdorf

    Aphid and mildew read counts leftover from the sequencing of greenhouse plants correlated with the environment of origin of the plants, and allowed the mapping of pathogen resistance genes.
