The SNP-Based Profiling of Montecristo Feral Goat Populations Reveals a History of Isolation, Bottlenecks, and the Effects of Management

The Montecristo wild goat is an endangered feral population that has been on the homonymous island in the Tuscan Archipelago since ancient times. The origins of Montecristo goats are still debated, with authors dating their introduction either back to Neol ...

The Impact of Linked Selection in Chimpanzees: A Comparative Study

Jeffrey David Jensen, Susanne Petra Pfeifer

Levels of nucleotide diversity vary greatly across the genomes of most species owing to multiple factors. These include variation in the underlying mutation rates, as well as the effects of both direct and linked selection. Fundamental to interpreting the ...

On the importance of skewed offspring distributions and background selection in virus population genetics

Kristen Kay Irwin, Jeffrey David Jensen, Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco, Claudia Bank, Sebastian Matuszewski, Stefan Jean Laurent, Hyunjin Shim, Nicky Louise Ormond

Many features of virus populations make them excellent candidates for population genetic study, including a very high rate of mutation, high levels of nucleotide diversity, exceptionally large census population sizes, and frequent positive selection. Howev ...

Assessing Recent Selection and Functionality at Long Noncoding RNA Loci in the Mouse Genome

Anamaria Necsulea

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are one of the most intensively studied groups of noncoding elements. Debate continues over what proportion of lncRNAs are functional or merely represent transcriptional noise. Although characterization of individual lncRNAs h ...

The Genomic Signature of Population Reconnection Following Isolation: From Theory to HIV

Amalio Telenti, Jeffrey David Jensen, Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco

Ease of worldwide travel provides increased opportunities for organisms not only to colonize new environments but also to encounter related but diverged populations. Such events of reconnection and secondary contact of previously isolated populations are w ...

Neutral and Adaptive Drivers of Microgeographic Genetic Divergence within Continuous Populations: The Case of the Neotropical Tree Eperua falcata (Aubl.)

Matthieu Foll

Background In wild plant populations, genetic divergence within continuous stands is common, sometimes at very short geographical scales. While restrictions to gene flow combined with local inbreeding and genetic drift may cause neutral differentiation amo ...

Assessing the spatial dependence of adaptive loci in 43 European and Western Asian goat breeds using AFLP markers

Stéphane Joost

Background During the past decades, neutral DNA markers have been extensively employed to study demography, population genetics and structure in livestock, but less interest has been devoted to the evaluation of livestock adaptive potential through the ide ...

Personal receptor repertoires: olfaction as a model

Sebastian Martin Waszak

Background: Information on nucleotide diversity along completely sequenced human genomes has increased tremendously over the last few years. This makes it possible to reassess the diversity status of distinct receptor proteins in different human individual ...
