Mutations that accumulate in the genome of cells or viruses can be used to infer their
evolutionary history. In the case of rapidly evolving organisms, genomes can reveal their detailed …

Mutation rates and fitness costs of deleterious mutations are difficult to measure in vivo but
essential for a quantitative understanding of evolution. Using whole genome deep …

Estimating the time since infection (TI) in newly diagnosed HIV-1 patients is challenging, but
important to understand the epidemiology of the infection. Here we explore the utility of virus …

We investigate theoretically how single molecule spectroscopy techniques can be used to
perform fast and high resolution displacement detection and manipulation of nanomechanical …

We report on experimental and theoretical studies of the fluctuation-induced escape time from
a metastable state of a nanomechanical Duffing resonator in a cryogenic environment. By …

A fully microscopic theory of electron spin relaxation by the D’yakonov-Perel’type spin-orbit
coupling is developed for a semiconductor quantum well in an ambient magnetic field …

The rat parasitic nematode Strongyloides ratti (S. ratti) has recently emerged as a model
system for various aspects of parasite biology and evolution. In addition to parasitic …

Linear-response conductance of a two-terminal Aharonov-Bohm (AB) interferometer is an
even function of magnetic field. This phase symmetry is not expected to hold beyond the linear-…

Natural selection imposes a complex filter on which variants persist in a population resulting
in evolutionary patterns that vary greatly along the genome. Some sites evolve close to …

Measurement of the transmission phase through a quantum dot (QD) embedded in an arm
of a two-terminal Aharonov-Bohm (AB) interferometer is inhibited by phase symmetry, ie, the …
