Parallelism, the evolution of similar traits in populations diversifying in similar conditions, provides good evidence of adaptation by natural selection. Many studies of parallelism have focused on comparisons of strongly different ecotypes or sharply contrasting environments, defined a priori, which could upwardly…

Parallel adaptation results from independent evolution of similar traits between closely related lineages and allows testing to which extent evolution is repeatable. Parallel adaptation often involves similar gene expression changes but the identity of genes shaped by parallel selection and the causes of expression…

Protein conformational landscapes contain the functionally relevant information useful for understanding biological processes. Mapping out conformational landscapes provides valuable insights into protein behaviors and biological phenomena, and has relevance to therapeutic design. While experimental structural biology…

Parallel evolution of phenotypic traits is regarded as strong evidence for natural selection and has been studied extensively in a variety of taxa. However, we have limited knowledge of whether parallel evolution of host organisms is accompanied by parallel changes of their associated microbial communities (i.e.…

Insights into the processes underpinning the evolution of phenotypic parallelism contribute to our understanding of the contributions of ancestral, introgressed, and novel genetic variation to phenotypic evolution. Phylogenomic analyses characterizing genome-wide gene tree heterogeneity can provide first clues about…

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of proteins are commonly used to sample from the Boltzmann distribution of conformational states, with wide-ranging applications spanning chemistry, biophysics, and drug discovery. However, MD can be inefficient at equilibrating water occupancy for buried cavities in proteins that…

Computing electrostatic interactions remains the bottleneck of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations despite more than a century of effort in developing methods to accelerate the calculation. Previously we have developed the Spherical Grid and Treecode (SGT) and Gauss-Legendre-Spherical-t (GLST) algorithms for…

Although additive manufacturing using multi-photon direct laser writing is nowadays considered as a major tool in the fabrication of future nano/micro-objects and optical components, it is currently limited by the low throughput of the writing process. To circumvent this issue, massive parallelization of the write…

In this study, we introduce a method designed to eliminate parallax artefacts present in Xray powder diffraction computed tomography data acquired from large samples. These parallax artefacts manifest as artificial peak shifting, broadening and splitting, leading to inaccurate physicochemical information, such as…
