Related Articles The Molecular Diversity of Phagotrophic Euglenids Examined Using Single-cell Methods. Protist. 2020 Aug 16;171(5):125757 Authors: Lax G, Simpson AGB Abstract Euglenids are a diverse group of euglenozoan flagellates that includes phototrophs, osmotrophs, and phagotrophs. Despite making up most of the phylogenetic diversity of euglenids, phagotrophs remain understudied, and recent work has focused on …

Consequences of Stability-Induced Epistasis for Substitution Rates.
Related Articles Consequences of Stability-Induced Epistasis for Substitution Rates. Mol Biol Evol. 2020 Sep 08;: Authors: Youssef N, Susko E, Bielawski JP Abstract Do interactions between residues in a protein (i.e., epistasis) significantly alter evolutionary dynamics? If so, what consequences might they have on inference from traditional codon substitution models which assume site-independence for the …
