MeSH headings : Female; Humans; Intestines / microbiology; Microbiota; Periodontium / microbiology; Pregnancy; Saliva / microbiology; Vagina / microbiology
TL;DR:
It is suggested that pregnancy outcomes might be predicted by features of the microbiota early in gestation, as well as the potential impact of a persistent, altered postpartum microbiota on maternal health, including outcomes of pregnancies following short interpregnancy intervals.

Rapid evolution of adaptive niche construction in experimental microbial populations
Evolution, 68(11), 3307–3316.
author keywords: Adaptation; mutations; population biology; selection-experimental
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Biological; Directed Molecular Evolution; Environment; Genetic Fitness; Pseudomonas fluorescens / genetics; Pseudomonas fluorescens / physiology
TL;DR:
It is found that adaptive niche construction emerged rapidly, within approximately 100 generations, and became ubiquitous after approximately 400 generations, suggesting that it may play a more important role in evolution than generally thought.

Evolutionary dynamics and information hierarchies in biological systems
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1305(1), 1–17.
author keywords: evolution; information hierarchy; chromatin; epigenetics; viruses; networks
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Chromatin / metabolism; Computational Biology / methods; Epigenomics; Evolution, Molecular; Humans
TL;DR:
This work argues that the model of evolution as a passive filter selecting for random changes at the nucleotide level is being replaced with a paradigm in which evolution is a dynamic process both constrained and driven by the informational architecture of organisms across scales.

The length scale of selection in protein evolution
Fly, 6(1), 16–20.
author keywords: molecular evolution; epistasis; fitness landscape; protein; correlation function; length scale; Drosophila; positive selection; molecular clock; overdispersion
MeSH headings : Animals; Drosophila; Drosophila Proteins / chemistry; Drosophila Proteins / genetics; Drosophila melanogaster; Evolution, Molecular; Selection, Genetic
TL;DR:
The evidence presented in the study supporting a substantial role for epistasis in the process of molecular evolution is focused on, and the implications of this widespread epistasis on the overdispersion of the molecular clock and the efficacy of common tests for positive selection are discussed.

Correlated Evolution of Nearby Residues in Drosophilid Proteins
PLoS Genetics, 7(2), e1001315.
Ed(s): G. McVean
MeSH headings : Amino Acid Substitution; Animals; Drosophila Proteins / genetics; Drosophila melanogaster / genetics; Evolution, Molecular; Multigene Family; Mutation; Phylogeny; Selection, Genetic
TL;DR:
It is found that amino acid substitutions are “clustered” along the protein sequence, that is, the frequency of additional substitutions is strongly enhanced within ≈10 residues of a first such substitution, but no such clustering is observed for synonymous substitutions, supporting a “correlation length” associated with selection on proteins as the causative mechanism.

Heterozygote advantage as a natural consequence of adaptation in diploids
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 108(51), 20666–20671.
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Physiological / genetics; Alleles; Animal Migration; Animals; Diploidy; Emigration and Immigration; Gene Expression; Genetic Variation; Haploidy; Heterozygote; Humans; Models, Genetic; Mutation; Phenotype; Polymorphism, Genetic; Selection, Genetic
TL;DR:
It is found that in diploids, adaptation should often proceed through a succession of short-lived balanced states that maintain substantially higher levels of phenotypic and fitness variation in the population compared with classic adaptive walks.

Emergent gene order in a model of modular polyketide synthases
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 106(46), 19410–19415.
author keywords: polyketides; horizontal transfer; evolution; collinearity; evolvability
MeSH headings : Animals; Bacteria / enzymology; Bacteria / genetics; Computer Simulation; Evolution, Molecular; Gene Order; Macrolides / metabolism; Models, Genetic; Plants / enzymology; Plants / genetics; Polyketide Synthases / biosynthesis; Polyketide Synthases / genetics; Protein Biosynthesis / genetics; Selection, Genetic
TL;DR:
This work proposes an evolutionary origin for collinearity and demonstrates the mechanism by using a computational model of PKS evolution in a population, and provides a mathematical framework describing the secondary selection mechanism, which generalizes beyond the context of the present model.
