Assessing the genetic diversity in small farm animal populations*

Animal, 2011
Genetic variation is vital for the populations to adapt to varying environments and to respond to artificial selection; therefore, any conservation and development scheme should start from assessing the state of variation in the population.

Reduction of a metapopulation genetic model to an effective one island model [PDF]

, 2018
We explore a model of metapopulation genetics which is based on a more ecologically motivated approach than is frequently used in population genetics. The size of the population is regulated by competition between individuals, rather than by artificially

Prediction and estimation of effective population size [PDF]

, 2016
Effective population size (Ne) is a key parameter in population genetics. It has important applications in evolutionary biology, conservation genetics, and plant and animal breeding, because it measures the rates of genetic drift and inbreeding and ...

A new reference genome assembly for the microcrustacean Daphnia pulex [PDF]

, 2017
Comparing genomes of closely related genotypes from populations with distinct demographic histories can help reveal the impact of effective population size on genome evolution. For this purpose, we present a high quality genome assembly of Daphnia pulex (

Horseshoe-based Bayesian nonparametric estimation of effective population size trajectories

, 2019
Phylodynamics is an area of population genetics that uses genetic sequence data to estimate past population dynamics. Modern state-of-the-art Bayesian nonparametric methods for recovering population size trajectories of unknown form use either change ...

Circulating virus load determines the size of bottlenecks in viral populations progressing within a host [PDF]

, 2012
For any organism, population size, and fluctuations thereof, are of primary importance in determining the forces driving its evolution. This is particularly true for viruses—rapidly evolving entities that form populations with transient and explosive ...

The demography of free-roaming dog populations and applications to disease and population control [PDF]

, 2014
Understanding the demography of domestic dog populations is essential for effective disease control, particularly of canine-mediated rabies. Demographic data are also needed to plan effective population management.

Population genomics of Vibrionaceae isolated from an endangered oasis reveals local adaptation after an environmental perturbation

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background In bacteria, pan-genomes are the result of an evolutionary “tug of war” between selection and horizontal gene transfer (HGT). High rates of HGT increase the genetic pool and the effective population size (N e ), resulting in open pan-genomes ...
