The last decade got evolution@home off the ground. The next one will make it grow.

Evolution@home results helped to test the predictions.

The scene for this work has been set by the research of evolutionary biologists like Brian Charlesworth. To mark his 65th birthday on 29 April 2010 and his many significant contributions, a themed issue of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B has been published on 'The population genetics of mutations: good, bad and indifferent'. It comprises articles by a number of influential individuals who have been associated with Brian over the years.

Evolutionary systems biology may help us to answer some of the most difficult problems in evolutionary biology.

Now evolution@home has found that this worm would indeed be in trouble if there were no processes that would counter genomic decay in this worm or if selfing was very old.

Now evolution@home has found that indeed there is a genomic decay paradox in this fish. Thus the search for processes that keep this fish alive is important.
