We have simulated the evolution of sexually reproducing populations composed of individuals represented by diploid genomes. A series of eight bits formed an allele occupying one of 128 loci of one haploid genome (chromosome). The environment required a specific activity of each locus, this being the sum of the activities of both alleles located at the corresponding loci on two chromosomes. This activity is represented by the number of bits set to zero. In a constant environment the best fitted individuals were homozygous with alleles activities corresponding to half of the environment requirement for a locus (in diploid genome two alleles at corresponding loci produced a proper activity). Changing the environment under a relatively low recombination rate promotes generation of more polymorphic alleles. In the heterozygous loci, alleles of different activities complement each other fulfilling the environment requirements. Nevertheless, the genetic pool of populations evolves in the direction of a very restricted number of complementing haplotypes and a fast changing environment kills the population. If simulations start with all loci heterozygous, they stay heterozygous for a long time.

The classification of life should be based upon the fundamental mechanism in the evolution of life. We found that the global relationships among species should be circular phylogeny, which is quite different from the common sense based upon phylogene
tic trees. The genealogical circles can be observed clearly according to the analysis of protein length distributions of contemporary species. Thus, we suggest that domains can be defined by distinguished phylogenetic circles, which are global and stable characteristics of living systems. The mechanism in genome size evolution has been clarified; hence main component questions on C-value enigma can be explained. According to the correlations and quasi-periodicity of protein length distributions, we can also classify life into three domains.
The genetic structure of human populations is extraordinarily complex and of fundamental importance to studies of anthropology, evolution, and medicine. As increasingly many individuals are of mixed origin, there is an unmet need for tools that can
infer multiple origins. Misclassification of such individuals can lead to incorrect and costly misinterpretations of genomic data, primarily in disease studies and drug trials. We present an advanced tool to infer ancestry that can identify the biogeographic origins of highly mixed individuals. reAdmix is an online tool available at http://chcb.saban-chla.usc.edu/reAdmix/.
The transmission and evolution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are of paramount importance to the controlling and combating of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Currently, near 15,000 SARS-CoV-2 single muta
tions have been recorded, having a great ramification to the development of diagnostics, vaccines, antibody therapies, and drugs. However, little is known about SARS-CoV-2 evolutionary characteristics and general trend. In this work, we present a comprehensive genotyping analysis of existing SARS-CoV-2 mutations. We reveal that host immune response via APOBEC and ADAR gene editing gives rise to near 65% of recorded mutations. Additionally, we show that children under age five and the elderly may be at high risk from COVID-19 because of their overreacting to the viral infection. Moreover, we uncover that populations of Oceania and Africa react significantly more intensively to SARS-CoV-2 infection than those of Europe and Asia, which may explain why African Americans were shown to be at increased risk of dying from COVID-19, in addition to their high risk of getting sick from COVID-19 caused by systemic health and social inequities. Finally, our study indicates that for two viral genome sequences of the same origin, their evolution order may be determined from the ratio of mutation type C$>$T over T$>$C.
We show, that the specific distribution of genes length, which is observed in natural genomes, might be a result of a growth process, in which a single length scale $L(t)$ develops that grows with time as $t^{1/3}$. This length scale could be associa
ted with the length of the longest gene in an evolving genome. The growth kinetics of the genes resembles the one observed in physical systems with conserved ordered parameter. We show, that in genome this conservation is guaranteed by compositional compensation along DNA strands of the purine-like trends introduced by genes. The presented mathematical model is the modified Bak-Sneppen model of critical self-organization applied to the one-dimensional system of $N$ spins. The spins take discrete values, which represent genes length.
In spring turnip rape (Brassica rapa L. spp. oleifera) the most promising F1 hybrid system would be the Ogu-INRA CMS/Rf system. A Kosena fertility restorer gene Rfk1, homologue of the Ogura restorer gene Rfo, was successfully transferred from oilseed
rape into turnip rape and that restored the fertility in female lines carrying Ogura cms. The trait was, however, unstable in subsequent generations. The physical localization of the radish chromosomal region carrying the Rfk1 gene was investigated using 8 GISH (genomic in situ hybridization) and BAC-FISH (bacterial artificial chromosome fluorescence in situ hybridization) methods. The metaphase chromosomes were hybridized using radish DNA as the genomic probe and BAC64 probe, which is linked with Rfo gene. Both probes showed a signal in the chromosome spreads of the restorer line 4021-2 Rfk of turnip rape but not in the negative control line 4021B. The GISH analyses clearly showed that the turnip rape restorer plants were either monosomic (2n=2x=20+1R) or disomic (2n=2x=20+2R) addition lines with one or two copies of a single alien chromosome region originating from radish. In the BAC-FISH analysis, double dot signals were detected in sub-terminal parts of the radish chromosome arms showing that the fertility restorer gene Rfk1 was located in this additional radish chromosome. Detected disomic addition lines were found to be unstable for turnip rape hybrid production. Using the BAC-FISH analysis, weak signals were sometimes visible in two chromosomes of turnip rape and a homologous region of Rfk1 in chromosome 9 of the B. rapa A genome was verified with BLAST analysis. In the future this homologous area in A genome could be substituted with radish chromosome area carrying the Rfk1 gene.
