Improving selection tests for protein-coding genes — NSF Award to North Carolina State University (NC, $399,074)
Bacteria adapt rapidly to their environments through the accumulation of mutations and the action of natural selection. These processes have major consequences for human health, agriculture, and industry, as harmful bacteria can quickly evolve resistance to treatments and colonize new environments. For this reason, ide

| Abstract | Bacteria adapt rapidly to their environments through the accumulation of mutations and the action of natural selection. These processes have major consequences for human health, agriculture, and industry, as harmful bacteria can quickly evolve resistance to treatments and colonize new environments. For this reason, identifying the genes that enable bacterial adaptation is of great importance. Current methods for identifying selection in bacterial genomes make overly simplistic assumptions about |
