Why does the trade-off persist?
Because both competition and colonization hinge on the same surface molecule. The O-antigen is a case of antagonistic pleiotropy – you can’t optimize one function without hurting the other.

What surprised us: this trade-off isn’t transient.
Using herbarium samples up to 200 years old, we show that the same genetic variants have persisted across 10⁵–10⁶ generations, with no evidence of widespread escape via recombination.
Natural selection keeps circling the same solutions.

Gene annotations matter for downstream analyses: different structural gene-annotation pipelines yield markedly different orthology calls. We compare four strategies across species and argue for standards & QC before inference. Work led by @silviaprietob.bsky.social. Paper: doi.org/10.1093/bioi...
