Francis Crick: A thoughtful biography to savour
“His aim was not just to make discoveries about two of the major riddles of science, he was also driven (…) to understand our true place in the Universe, shorn of superstition and religion.”

First growth, then information: the path to genetic heredity in protocells
Most theoretical work on the origin of heredity has focused on how genetic information can be maintained without mutational degradation in the absence of error-proofing systems. A simple and parsimoni...

Evolution of Wolbachia male-killing mechanism within a host species
Male-killing bacterial symbionts, prevalent in arthropods, skew population sex ratios by selectively killing male progeny, profoundly impacting ecology and evolution of their hosts. Male-killing is a ...

Our review is out in Nature Reviews Genetics!

We show how phylogeny-based methods can resolve the problem of non-independence in genomic datasets. These methods must be considered an essential part of the comparative genomics toolkit.

A phylogenetic approach to comparative genomics
Nature Reviews Genetics - Controlling for phylogeny is essential in comparative genomics studies, because species, genomes and genes are not independent data points within statistical tests. The...
