Genetic Selection and Conservation of Genetic Diversity* [PDF]

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, 2012
ContentsFor 100s of years, livestock producers have employed various types of selection to alter livestock populations. Current selection strategies are little different, except our technologies for selection have become more powerful. Genetic resources at the breed level have been in and out of favour over time.

Perspectives of genomics for genetic conservation of livestock [PDF]

Genomics provides new opportunities for conservation genetics. Conservation genetics in livestock is based on estimating diversity by pedigree relatedness and managing diversity by choosing those animals that maximize genetic diversity.

Evaluating genomic data for management of local adaptation in a changing climate: A lodgepole pine case study

Evolutionary Applications, 2020
We evaluate genomic data, relative to phenotypic and climatic data, as a basis for assisted gene flow and genetic conservation. Using a seedling common garden trial of 281 lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) populations from across western Canada, we compare

Informing conservation strategies with museum genomics: Long‐term effects of past anthropogenic persecution on the elusive European wildcat

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Like many carnivore species, European wildcats (Felis silvestris) have suffered severe anthropogenic population declines in the past, resulting in a strong population bottleneck at the beginning of the 20th century. In Germany, the species has managed to

Protein structure and phenotypic analysis of pathogenic and population missense variants in STXBP1 [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Syntaxin-binding protein 1, encoded by STXBP1, is highly expressed in the brain and involved in fusing synaptic vesicles with the plasma membrane.

Using eDNA for mammal inventories still needs naturalist expertise, a meta‐analysis

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
DNA from the environment (eDNA) has been increasingly used as a new tool to conduct biodiversity assessment. Because of its noninvasive and less time‐consuming nature, many studies of recent years solely rely on this information to establish a species ...

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)
