Supergenes power invasivespecies' success, study finds NatureComms
, sampled SNPs were then filtered for a minor allele frequency >0.2 for hb-chr2 comparisons and MAF > 0.05 forcomparisons , resulting in null distributions of between 6913 and 8303 SNPs. We then compared the distributions to thevalues of candidate adaptation loci to test whether candidate regions were more divergent than the putatively neutral distribution.
to identify regions containing three distinct clusters representing heterozygotes and two homozygotes. In addition, we assessed heterozygosity from genotype data in each haploblock region and in each modern sample, and measured linkage disequilibrium across each scaffold bearing a haploblock for all modern samples and for modern samples homozygous for the more common haploblock genotype using scripts from Todesco et al.

Population-level impacts of antibiotic usage on the human gut microbiome - Nature CommunicationsHere, the authors study the population-level impact of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs). By analyzing 8972 metagenomes and 3,096 gut microbiomes from healthy individuals not taking antibiotics, they demonstrate significant correlations between both the total ARG abundance and diversity and per capita antibiotic usage rates across ten countries spanning three continents. Using a collection of 154,723 human-associated metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs) they link these ARGs to microbial taxa and horizontal gene transfer.
