A test for within-lake niche differentiation in the nine-spined sticklebacks (Pungitius pungitius) [PDF]
Specialization for the use of different resources can lead to ecological speciation. Accordingly, there are numerous examples of ecologically specialized pairs of fish species in postglacial lakes. Using a polymorphic panel of single nucleotide variants,

ABSTRACT Understanding the genomic architecture of species of conservation concern is essential for fostering effective conservation initiatives. Current biodiversity assessment approaches increasingly incorporate genetic metrics to evaluate the status of species and populations of conservation interest.

Variation in actual relationship among descendants of inbred individuals [PDF]
In previous analyses, the variation in actual, or realized, relationship has been derived as a function of map length of chromosomes and type of relationship, the variation being greater the shorter the total chromosome length and the coefficient of ...

ABSTRACT The Tianshan Mountains, which host two native subspecies of western honeybees, represent the easternmost natural distribution limit of Apis mellifera. The managed Xinjiang black honeybee (XJ), introduced a century ago and designated as a Chinese National Animal Genetic Resource, has expanded rapidly under anthropogenic management.

Sensitivity of inferences in forensic genetics to assumptions about founding genes
Many forensic genetics problems can be handled using structured systems of discrete variables, for which Bayesian networks offer an appealing practical modeling framework, and allow inferences to be computed by probability propagation methods.

Fast and accurate joint inference of coancestry parameters for populations and/or individuals.
We introduce a fast, new algorithm for inferring from allele count data the FST parameters describing genetic distances among a set of populations and/or unrelated diploid individuals, and a tree with branch lengths corresponding to FST values.

Genomic selection in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) [PDF]
Genomic selection (GS) can increase the genetic gain in plants. In perennial crops, this can be achieved via shortened breeding cycles and increased selection intensity. Our objective was to obtain the first empirical estimate of GS accuracy in oil palm (

Encoding of low-quality DNA profiles as genotype probability matrices for improved profile comparisons, relatedness evaluation and database searches [PDF]
Many DNA profiles recovered from crime scene samples are of a quality that does not allow them to be searched against, nor entered into, databases. We propose a method for the comparison of profiles arising from two DNA samples, one or both of which can ...
