Host–pathogen coevolution in human tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease of antiquity. Yet TB today still causes more adult deaths than any other single infectious disease. Recent studies show that contrary to the common view postulating an animal origin for TB, Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), the causative agent of TB, emerged as a human pathogen in Africa and colonized the world accompanying the Out-of-Africa migrations of...
متن کاملThe human protein coevolution network.
Coevolution maintains interactions between phenotypic traits through the process of reciprocal natural selection. Detecting molecular coevolution can expose functional interactions between molecules in the cell, generating insights into biological processes, pathways, and the networks of interactions important for cellular function. Prediction of interaction partners from different protein fami...
متن کاملThe coevolution of human hands and feet.
Human hands and feet have longer, more robust first digits, and shorter lateral digits compared to African apes. These similarities are often assumed to be independently evolved adaptations for manipulative activities and bipedalism, respectively. However, hands and feet are serially homologous structures that share virtually identical developmental blueprints, raising the possibility that digi...

متن کاملWhy Coevolution Doesn't "Work": Superiority and Progress in Coevolution
Coevolution often gives rise to counter-intuitive dynamics that defy our expectations. Here we suggest that much of the confusion surrounding coevolution results from imprecise notions of superiority and progress. In particular, we note that in the literature, three distinct notions of progress are implicitly lumped together: local progress (superior performance against current opponents), hist...
