The first is from former PhD student Zhiru Liu @zzzhiru.bsky.social (now in @bengrbm.bsky.social's group @ MSK) examining the long-term patterns of selective constraint – measured by the classical ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous mutations (dN/dS) – within recombining populations of bacteria.
Dynamics of dN/dS within recombining bacterial populations
The ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous substitutions (dN/dS) encodes important information about the selection pressures acting on protein-coding genes. In bacterial populations, dN/dS often decline...
