Rapid evolution of coordinated and collective movement in response to artificial selection
Science Advances, 2020 The rules of interaction that animals use to coordinate their movements are heritable and can evolve rapidly. Collective motion occurs when individuals use social interaction rules to respond to the movements and positions of their neighbors. How readily

Analysis of selection signatures in the beef cattle genome
Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2019 This study aimed to evaluate the impact of selection on the genome structure of beef cattle through identification of selection signatures reflecting the breeding standard of each breed and to discover potential functional genetic variants to improve ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Gene function conservation is crucial in molecular ecology, especially for key traits like growth and maturation in teleost fish. The vgll3 and six6 genes are known to influence age‐at‐maturity in Atlantic salmon, but their impact on other fish species ...

Artificial selection in domestication and breeding prevents speciation in rice.
Molecular Plant, 2020 Speciation has long been regarded as an irreversible process once the reproductive barriers had been established. However, unlike in natural populations, artificial selection might either accelerate or prevent speciation processes in domesticated species.

Optimal evolutionary control for artificial selection on molecular phenotypes [PDF]
bioRxiv, 2019 Controlling an evolving population is an important task in modern molecular genetics, including directed evolution for improving the activity of molecules and enzymes, in breeding experiments in animals and in plants, and in devising public health ...

Maladaptation in feral and domesticated animals
Evolutionary Applications, 2019 Selection regimes and population structures can be powerfully changed by domestication and feralization, and these changes can modulate animal fitness in both captive and natural environments.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 Domestication of Atlantic salmon started approximately 40 years ago, using artificial selection through genetic improvement programs. Selection is likely to have imposed distinctive signatures on the salmon genome, which are often characterized by high ...

Towards Immune Inspired Fault Tolerance in Embedded Systems [PDF]
, 2002 The immune system is a remarkable natural system that is proving to be of great inspiration to computer scientists and engineers alike. This paper discusses the role that the immune system can play in the development of fault tolerant embedded systems ...
