Extraction of diverse gene groups with individual relationship from gene co-expression networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Motivation: Modules in gene coexpression networks (GCN) can be regarded as gene groups with individual relationships. No studies have optimized module detection methods to extract diverse gene groups from GCN, especially for data from clinical specimens.

Pattern of population structuring between Belgian and Estonian bumblebees [PDF]
, 2019 Several population genetic studies investigated the extent of gene flow and population connectivity in bumblebees. In general, no restriction in gene flow is considered for mainland populations of common bumblebee species.

Mating system variation in hybrid zones: facilitation, barriers and asymmetries to gene flow
New Phytologist, 2019 Summary Plant mating systems play a key role in structuring genetic variation both within and between species. In hybrid zones, the outcomes and dynamics of hybridization are usually interpreted as the balance between gene flow and selection against ...

Local adaptation with high gene flow: temperature parameters drive adaptation to altitude in the common frog (Rana temporaria) [PDF]
, 2014 Both environmental and genetic influences can result in phenotypic variation. Quantifying the relative contributions of local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity to phenotypes is key to understanding the effect of environmental variation on populations.

A Continuous Method for Gene Flow [PDF]
Genetics, 2013 Abstract Most modern population genetics inference methods are based on the coalescence framework. Methods that allow estimating parameters of structured populations commonly insert migration events into the genealogies. For these methods the calculation of the coalescence probability density of a genealogy requires a product over all ...

Gene flow analysis method, the D-statistic, is robust in a wide parameter space
BMC Bioinformatics, 2018 We evaluated the sensitivity of the D-statistic, a parsimony-like method widely used to detect gene flow between closely related species. This method has been applied to a variety of taxa with a wide range of divergence times.

Gene flow improves fitness at a range edge under climate change
bioRxiv, 2018 Populations at the margins of a species’ geographic range are often thought to be poorly adapted to their environment. According to theoretical predictions, gene flow can inhibit these range edge populations if it disrupts adaptation to local conditions.

Mediating Ribosomal Competition by Splitting Pools [PDF]
LCSS Vol 5 Issue 5 (Nov 2020), 2020 Synthetic biology constructs often rely upon the introduction of "circuit" genes into host cells, in order to express novel proteins and thus endow the host with a desired behavior. The expression of these new genes "consumes" existing resources in the cell, such as ATP, RNA polymerase, amino acids, and ribosomes. Ribosomal competition among strands of

Diffuse flow environments within basalt- and sediment-based hydrothermal vent ecosystems harbor specialized microbial communities [PDF]
, 2013 Hydrothermal vents differ both in surface input and subsurface geochemistry. The effects of these differences on their microbial communities are not clear.

Suppressing evolution in genetically engineered systems through repeated supplementation
Evolutionary Applications, 2021 Genetically engineered organisms are prone to evolve in response to the engineering. This evolution is often undesirable and can negatively affect the purpose of the engineering.
