Fixation dynamics of beneficial alleles in prokaryotic polyploid chromosomes and plasmids

bioRxiv, 2022
Theoretical population genetics has been mostly developed for sexually reproducing diploid and for monoploid (haploid) organisms, focusing on eukaryotes.

Linking Diversity and Differentiation

Diversity, 2010
Generally speaking, the term differentiation refers to differences between collections for the distribution of specified traits of their members, while diversity deals with (effective) numbers of trait states (types).

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

Growth, competition and cooperation in spatial population genetics [PDF]

, 2012
We study an individual based model describing competition in space between two different alleles. Although the model is similar in spirit to classic models of spatial population genetics such as the stepping stone model, here however space is continuous ...

The role of duplications in the evolution of genomes highlights the need for evolutionary-based approaches in comparative genomics

Biology Direct, 2011
Understanding the evolutionary plasticity of the genome requires a global, comparative approach in which genetic events are considered both in a phylogenetic framework and with regard to population genetics and environmental variables.

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.

The effect of recurrent mutations on genetic diversity in a large population of varying size [PDF]

, 2016
Recurrent mutations are a common phenomenon in population genetics. They may be at the origin of the fixation of a new genotype, if they give a phenotypic advantage to the carriers of the new mutation.

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.

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 ...
