The role of non-additive gene action on gene expression variation in plant domestication
EvoDevo, 2023 Background Plant domestication is a remarkable example of rapid phenotypic transformation of polygenic traits, such as organ size. Evidence from a handful of study cases suggests this transformation is due to gene regulatory changes that result in non ...

The European Reference Genome Atlas: piloting a decentralised approach to equitable biodiversity genomics [PDF]
npj Biodiversity, 2023 Abstract A genomic database of all Earth’s eukaryotic species could contribute to many scientific discoveries; however, only a tiny fraction of species have genomic information available. In 2018, scientists across the world united under the Earth BioGenome Project (EBP), aiming to produce a database of high-quality reference genomes ...

Unearthing soil arthropod diversity through DNA metabarcoding [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 DNA metabarcoding has the potential to greatly advance understanding of soil biodiversity, but this approach has seen limited application for the most abundant and species-rich group of soil fauna–the arthropods.

Adaptive and non-adaptive divergence in a common landscape
Nature Communications, 2017 The three-spined stickleback is a model species for the study of adaptive divergence. Here, Raeymaekers et al. compare how the three-spined stickleback and its relative the nine-spined stickleback vary at the phenotypic and genomic levels in response to ...

Genome evolution and biodiversity in teleost fish [PDF]
Heredity, 2004 Teleost fish, which roughly make up half of the extant vertebrate species, exhibit an amazing level of biodiversity affecting their morphology, ecology and behaviour as well as many other aspects of their biology. This huge variability makes fish extremely attractive for the study of many biological questions, particularly of those related to evolution.

BMC Plant Biology, 2020 Background Desiccation tolerant Selaginella species evolved to survive extreme environmental conditions. Studies to determine the mechanisms involved in the acquisition of desiccation tolerance (DT) have focused on only a few Selaginella species.

Evaluating the effect of reference genome divergence on the analysis of empirical RADseq datasets
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The advent of high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) has made genomic‐level analyses feasible for nonmodel organisms. A critical step of many HTS pipelines involves aligning reads to a reference genome to identify variants.
