A next-generation version of modeltest
The Stamatakis lab as taken over the Modeltest series! check Modeltest-NG. ModelTest-NG is much faster than jModelTest and ProtTest but equally accurate and introduces new features, such as ascertainment bias correction, mixture, and free-rate models, or the automatic processing of … Continue reading

NGS coverage and evolutionary inferences from single-cells
New paper just out @GenomeMedicine! We report the impact of sequencing depth (and sampling effort) towards variant detection, genotype accuracy, clonal inference and phylogenetic reconstruction from single-cell cancer data. https://rdcu.be/LJ4E
Whole-genome assembly of the coral reef Pearlscale Pygmy Angelfish
Congratulations Iria for publishing a very nice paper describing the assembly of the genome of a beautiful angelfish! https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-19430-x
ProtASR: An Evolutionary Framework for Ancestral Protein Reconstruction with Selection on Folding Stability
A new evolutionary framework for ancestral protein reconstruction accounting for structural constraints, just published in Systematic Biology https://academic.oup.com/sysbio/article-abstract/66/6/1054/2840014/ProtASR-An-Evolutionary-Framework-for-Ancestral?redirectedFrom=fulltext
Forensic genetics and genomics: Much more than just a human affair
A comprehensive review on the diverse disciplines of nonhuman forensic genetics, just published in PLoS Genetics. Indeed, it is a fantastic collaboration with the lab of Antonio Amorim and Angel Carracedo: http://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1006960
Heterogeneous recombination among Hepatitis B virus genotypes

Eco-evo classification of tumors
Nice to contribute to this consensus statement in Nature Reviews Cancer about classifying tumors according to their ecological and evolutionary features: http://go.nature.com/2fopLbX
Multiregional tumor trees are not phylogenies
Our comment about misusing multiregional trees in cancer is out: Alves JA, Prieto T, Posada D. 2017. Multiregional tumor trees are not phylogenies. Trends in Cancer: 0.1016/j.trecan.2017.06.004 https://t.co/HVb8dVpi6O Here we show that multiregional tumor trees built from bulk … Continue reading
