Genetic Structure of the Ca Rater Mallorquí Dog Breed Inferred by Microsatellite Markers
Animals, 2022 Ca Rater Mallorquí is a dog breed from the Island of Mallorca (Spain) traditionally used as a hunting and ratting dog to prevent disease spread and economic losses related to rodent activities on farms. However, the census data shows a population decline

An experimental test on the probability of extinction of new genetic variants [PDF]
, 2013 In 1927, J.B.S. Haldane reasoned that the probability of fixation of new beneficial alleles is twice their fitness effect. This result, later generalized by M. Kimura, has since become the cornerstone of modern population genetics.

A practical genome scan for population-specific strong selective sweeps that have reached fixation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Phenotypic divergences between modern human populations have developed as a result of genetic adaptation to local environments over the past 100,000 years. To identify genes involved in population-specific phenotypes, it is necessary to detect signatures

The clarifying role of time series data in the population genetics of HIV.
PLoS Genetics, 2021 HIV can evolve remarkably quickly in response to antiretroviral therapies and the immune system. This evolution stymies treatment effectiveness and prevents the development of an HIV vaccine.

Genetic draft, selective interference, and population genetics of rapid adaptation [PDF]
, 2013 To learn about the past from a sample of genomic sequences, one needs to understand how evolutionary processes shape genetic diversity. Most population genetic inference is based on frameworks assuming adaptive evolution is rare.

Population genetics of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in captive giant pandas of China
Parasites & Vectors, 2017 Background Most studies on Enterocytozoon bieneusi are conducted based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the rRNA gene, whereas some have examined E. bieneusi population structures.

New Microsatellite Markers for the Model Coral Species Stylophora pistillata from Eilat, the Red Sea
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Nineteen microsatellite loci, obtained by the whole genome sequencing approach, were developed and validated for the ‘smooth cauliflower’ coral Stylophora pistillata, a widespread Indo Pacific branching coral species.

Technologically modified genes in natural populations [PDF]
, 1993 Current theories of evolutionary and ecological genetics cannot be used for general statements on risk assessment of gene technology. In a simplifying model, the genes which are transferred from artificial populations are treated like mutations in the ...
