Non-equilibrium theory of the allele frequency spectrum [PDF]
A forward diffusion equation describing the evolution of the allele frequency spectrum is presented. The influx of mutations is accounted for by imposing a suitable boundary condition. For a Wright-Fisher diffusion with or without selection and varying population size, the boundary condition is $\lim_{x \downarrow 0} x f(x,t)= (t)$, where $f(\cdot,t)

Kernel density estimation of allele frequency including undetected alleles. [PDF]
Whereas undetected species contribute to estimation of species diversity, undetected alleles have not been used to estimated genetic diversity. Although random sampling guarantees unbiased estimation of allele frequency and genetic diversity measures, using undetected alleles may provide biased but more precise estimators useful for conservation.

Warmblood fragile foal syndrome type 1 mutation (PLOD1 c.2032G>A) is not associated with catastrophic breakdown and has a low allele frequency in the Thoroughbred breed. [PDF]
BackgroundCatastrophic fractures are among the most common cause of fatalities in racehorses. Several factors, including genetics, likely contribute to increased risk for fatal injuries.

Wright-Fisher diffusion bridges [PDF]
{\bf Abstract} The trajectory of the frequency of an allele which begins at $x$ at time $0$ and is known to have frequency $z$ at time $T$ can be modelled by the bridge process of the Wright-Fisher diffusion.

Profiling allele-specific gene expression in brains from individuals with autism spectrum disorder reveals preferential minor allele usage. [PDF]
One fundamental but understudied mechanism of gene regulation in disease is allele-specific expression (ASE), the preferential expression of one allele.

Selection Mapping Identifies Loci Underpinning Autumn Dormancy in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa). [PDF]
Autumn dormancy in alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is associated with agronomically important traits including regrowth rate, maturity, and winter survival. Historical recurrent selection experiments have been able to manipulate the dormancy response.

Signatures of introgression across the allele frequency spectrum [PDF]
ABSTRCTThe detection of introgression from genomic data is transforming our view of species and the origins of adaptive variation. Among the most widely used approaches to detect introgression is the so-called ABBA BABA test orDstatistic, which identifies excess allele sharing between non-sister taxa.

Brief communication: Evolution of a specific O allele (O1vG542A) supports unique ancestry of Native Americans [PDF]
In this study, we explore the geographic and temporal distribution of a unique variant of the O blood group allele called O1vG542A, which has been shown to be shared among Native Americans but is rare in other populations.

Estimation of allele frequencies at isoloci. [PDF]
Abstract In some polyploid animals and plants, pairs of duplicated loci occur that share alleles encoding proteins with identical electrophoretic mobilities. Except in cases where these "isoloci" are known to be inherited tetrasomically, individual genotypes cannot be determined unambiguously, and there is no direct way to assign ...
