A new study highlights the need for considering spatial structure in detecting positive selection
Bacteria becoming antibiotic-resistant, insects becoming pesticide-resistant, and organisms adapting to hostile environments are all examples of adaptive evolution through natural selection. Each adaptive event leaves its mark in the organism’s DNA; beneficial alleles become fixed and can be detected in the majority of the population. By understanding this process, population geneticists and evolutionary biologists figure…

Science & PublishingHold the salt: Study shows standard worm food NaCl levels accelerate aging
A new study in GENETICS has a “circuitous” origin story, according to equal investigator Brian M. Egan. When Egan showed Kerry Kornfeld his inconclusive Caenorhabditis elegans data on how varying concentrations of sodium chloride (NaCl) affect the anti-aging activity of the blood pressure drug captopril, Kornfeld noticed an unexpected difference in the controls. Since C.…
