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.

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.

Haplotypic polymorphisms and forensic applications in Chinese Hunan Han population based on a series of Y-STR loci: a perspective of paternal inheritance

Annals of Human Biology, 2023
Background Hunan, a multinational province in China, possesses more than fifty ethnic groups, such as the Han, Yao, Tujia, Miao, and so on. Aims To evaluate the forensic efficiency of the novel panel and investigate the genetic relationships between ...

Structural and Temporal Variation in Genetic Diversity of European Spring Two-Row Barley Cultivars and Association Mapping of Quantitative Traits

The Plant Genome, 2013
Two hundred sixteen barley ( L.) cultivars were selected to represent the diversity and history of European spring two-row barley breeding and to search for alleles controlling agronomic traits by association genetics.

Hitchhiking to speciation. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2013
The modern evolutionary synthesis codified the idea that species exist as distinct entities because intrinsic reproductive barriers prevent them from merging together. Understanding the origin of species therefore requires understanding the evolution and

Genotype by random environmental interactions gives an advantage to non-favored minor alleles

Scientific Reports, 2017
Fixation probability, the probability that the frequency of a newly arising mutation in a population will eventually reach unity, is a fundamental quantity in evolutionary genetics.

Simulating population genetics of pathogen vectors in changing landscapes: guidelines and application with Triatoma brasiliensis. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
BACKGROUND:Understanding the mechanisms that influence the population dynamics and spatial genetic structure of the vectors of pathogens infecting humans is a central issue in tropical epidemiology.

Hybrid fitness effects modify fixation probabilities of introgressed alleles

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022
Hybridization is a common occurrence in natural populations, and introgression is a major source of genetic variation. Despite the evolutionary importance of adaptive introgression, classical population genetics theory does not take into account hybrid ...

Fixation of genetic variation and optimization of gene expression: The speed of evolution in isolated lizard populations undergoing Reverse Island Syndrome

PLOS ONE, 2019
The ecological theory of island biogeography suggests that mainland populations should be more genetically divergent from those on large and distant islands rather than from those on small and close islets. Some island populations do not evolve in a linear way, but the process of divergence occurs more rapidly because they undergo a series of ...

Anthropogenic and natural fragmentations shape the spatial distribution and genetic diversity of roe deer in the marginal area of its geographic range

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Habitat destruction and fragmentation are major factors in the destruction of genetic diversity and affect the movement behavior of the Roe deer population in the remaining habitats.
