Linking a mutation to survival in wild mice

Jeffrey David Jensen, Matthieu Foll, Susanne Petra Pfeifer, Stefan Jean Laurent

Adaptive evolution in new or changing environments can be difficult to predict because the functional connections between genotype, phenotype, and fitness are complex. Here, we make these explicit connections by combining field and laboratory experiments i ...

Spatial Areas of Genotype Probability (SPAG): predicting the spatial distribution of adaptive genetic variants under future climatic conditions

Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat

In a context of rapid global change, one of the key components for the survival of species is their genetic adaptive potential. Many methods have been developed to identify adaptive genetic variants, but few tools were made available to integrate this know ...

Computational and Statistical analyses of Molecular Evolution and Demography using Large-scale Sequencing Data

Adamantia Kapopoulou

Evolution can be described as the change of allele frequencies over time. Four forces - mutation, migration, genetic drift, and selection, drive this change. The aim of my thesis was to accurately estimate and differentiate the parameters governing each of ...

An Approximate Markov Model for the Wright-Fisher Diffusion and Its Application to Time Series Data

Jeffrey David Jensen, Anna Ferrer Admetlla

The joint and accurate inference of selection and demography from genetic data is considered a particularly challenging question in population genetics, since both process may lead to very similar patterns of genetic diversity. However, additional informat ...

WFABC: a Wright-Fisher ABC-based approach for inferring effective population sizes and selection coefficients from time-sampled data

Jeffrey David Jensen, Matthieu Foll, Hyunjin Shim

With novel developments in sequencing technologies, time-sampled data are becoming more available and accessible. Naturally, there have been efforts in parallel to infer population genetic parameters from these data sets. Here, we compare and analyse four ...

Genome-wide patterns of adaptation to climate-mediated selective pressures in sheep

Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki

Sheep (Ovis aries) have been well adapted to thrive in a diverse range of climates during the domestication and breed development process. These climate-mediated selective pressures have shown to influence phenotypic variation within and among breeds and, ...

Adaptations to Climate-Mediated Selective Pressures in Sheep

Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki

Following domestication, sheep (Ovis aries) have become essential farmed animals across the world through adaptation to a diverse range of environments and varied production systems. Climate-mediated selective pressure has shaped phenotypic variation and h ...

On the transition of genetic differentiation from isolation to panmixia: What we can learn from G(ST) and D

Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco

Population genetic differentiation characterizes the repartition of alleles among populations. It is commonly thought that genetic differentiation measures, such as G(ST) and D, should be near zero when allele frequencies are close to their expected value ...

Influence of CRTC1 Polymorphisms on Body Mass Index and Fat Mass in Psychiatric Patients and the General Adult Population

Pierre Magistretti, Murielle Bochud, Jean-René Cardinaux

IMPORTANCE There is a high prevalence of obesity in psychiatric patients, possibly leading to metabolic complications and reducing life expectancy. The CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 1 (CRTC1) gene is involved in energy balance and obesity in ani ...

Systematic Inference of Copy-Number Genotypes from Personal Genome Sequencing Data Reveals Extensive Olfactory Receptor Gene Content Diversity

Sebastian Martin Waszak

Copy-number variations (CNVs) are widespread in the human genome, but comprehensive assignments of integer locus copy-numbers (i.e., copy-number genotypes) that, for example, enable discrimination of homozygous from heterozygous CNVs, have remained challen ...
