The ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous DNA substitutions (dN/dS) encodes information about selection pressures. This study develops a model of dN/dS in recombining bacterial populations, offering insights on how horizontal gene transfer shapes the genome. 🧪 #AcademicSky #evolution plos.io/3Wcy9lT

It's been 30 years (!!!) since the conceptualization of GWAS. GWAS has driven tons of discoveries, but with recent experimental developments (CRISPR, single-cell omics), we thought it was time to think about how to drive the next 30 years of human genetics. doi.org/10.5281/zeno...
