Publications
The genealogy of a sequence subject to purifying selection at multiple sitesScott Williamson
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Kansas, Lawrence 66045, USA
Mol Biol Evol 19:1376-84. 2002..We find that dependence among selected loci can substantially reduce the efficacy of even fairly strong purifying selection...
Adaptation in the env gene of HIV-1 and evolutionary theories of disease progressionScott Williamson
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Kansas, USA
Mol Biol Evol 20:1318-25. 2003..I conclude by discussing the distribution of nonsynonymous changes over the env gene...
Reaction-diffusion models of within-feather pigmentation patterningRichard O Prum
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and Natural History Museum, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 66045 2454, USA
Proc Biol Sci 269:781-92. 2002..The models support the hypothesis that within-feather pigmentation patterning is determined by antagonistic interactions among molecular expression gradients within the tubular follicle and feather germ...
Linking dynamical and population genetic models of persistent viral infectionJohn K Kelly
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas 66045, USA
Am Nat 162:14-28. 2003..Inclusion of multiple cell types increases the likelihood of persistent infection and can increase the amount of genetic diversity within the viral population. However, the overall rate of gene sequence evolution may actually be reduced...
Population genetics of polymorphism and divergence for diploid selection models with arbitrary dominanceScott Williamson
Department of Biological Statistics and Computational Biology, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853, USA
Genetics 168:463-75. 2004..This nonintuitive result has major implications for the interpretation of several popular tests of neutrality...

Department of Biological Statistics and Computational Biology, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853, USA
Genome Res 15:1566-75. 2005..Evidence for selective sweeps is also found in many other regions, including genes known to be associated with disease risk such as DPP10 and COL4A3...
