Landscape genomics and biased FST approaches reveal single nucleotide polymorphisms under selection in goat breeds of North-East Mediterranean

Background: In this study we compare outlier loci detected using a FST based method with those identified by a recently described method based on spatial analysis (SAM). We tested a panel of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNSPs) previously genotyped in i ...

The fixation of locally beneficial alleles in a metapopulation

Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco, Nicolas Perrin

Extinction, recolonization and local adaption are common in natural spatially structured populations. Understanding their effect upon genetic variation is important for systems such as GMO management, or avoidance of drug resistance. Theoretical studies on ...

Trees, networks, and hydrology

Andrea Rinaldo, Amos Maritan

This paper reviews theoretical and observational material on form and function of natural networks appeared in somewhat disparate contexts from physics to biology, whose study is related to hydrologic research. Moving from the exact result that drainage ne ...

Neutral drift and polymorphism in gene-for-gene systems

Marcel Salathé

Pathogens are a main driving force of the evolution of plants and animals. Being resistant to diseases confers a high selective advantage to hosts, yet many host–pathogen systems show a remarkable degree of polymorphism of host resistance and pathogen viru ...

Autopolyploidy and post-glacial recolonization of Biscutella laevigata (Brassicaceae): molecular analysis and spatial modeling of gene dispersal in the western Alps

Stéphane Joost, Régis Caloz

Over the past five years there have been significant advances in both genetic and palaeoecological research on the ancestry of populations. The alternation of cold and warm stages during the Ice Ages has caused repeated geographic restriction and expansion ...
