New preprint! DOI: 10.64898/2026.06.19.733087 This is an old story on old questions: how often does the rate of molecular evolution changes? How many sites are affected? Do the rate shifts occur as part of adaptive processes? Does this impact phylogenetic reconstruction?

We started to work on these questions some time ago, with Estelle Renaud (back then a Master student in the lab). We present our results in a new study, led by Rasit Durak, now available on bioRxiv.
