Discordance Between Mitochondrial and Nuclear Contact Zones Within Antelope Ground Squirrels (Ammospermophilus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
A common biogeographic pattern found in many co-distributed species along the Baja California peninsula is the genetic divergence in the Vizcaíno Desert.

Genetic Divergence between Camellia sinensis and Its Wild Relatives Revealed via Genome-Wide SNPs from RAD Sequencing

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Tea is one of the most popular beverages across the world and is made exclusively from cultivars of Camellia sinensis. Many wild relatives of the genus Camellia that are closely related to C. sinensis are native to Southwest China.

Integrating paleoecology and genetics of bird populations in two sky island archipelagos

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2008
Background Genetic tests of paleoecological hypotheses have been rare, partly because recent genetic divergence is difficult to detect and time. According to fossil plant data, continuous woodland in the southwestern USA and northern Mexico became ...

Genetic structure, divergence and admixture of Han Chinese, Japanese and Korean populations

open access: yesHereditas, 2018
BackgroundHan Chinese, Japanese and Korean, the three major ethnic groups of East Asia, share many similarities in appearance, language and culture etc., but their genetic relationships, divergence times and subsequent genetic exchanges have not been ...

Genetically Fixed Characters and Evolutionary Divergence [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Zoologist, 1970
Data from hybridization permit assessment of relationships of the toads (genus Bufo ) which occur on all continents except Australia and permit a crude estimate of the degree of genetic change with time. The evidence indicates that toads have been very conservative with respect to change.

Autism as a disorder of neural information processing: directions for research and targets for therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The broad variation in phenotypes and severities within autism spectrum disorders suggests the involvement of multiple predisposing factors, interacting in complex ways with normal developmental courses and gradients. Identification of these factors, and

Genetic divergence between transposable elements

open access: yesGenetical Research, 1986
SummaryThe probabilities of genetic identity between different members of the same family of transposable elements in a randomly mating host population are determined, under the assumption of statistical equilibrium between neutral mutations, random genetic drift, transposition and unbiased gene conversion. The method allows for variation in numbers of

Island biology and morphological divergence of the Skyros wall lizard Podarcis gaigeae: a combined role for local selection and genetic drift on color morph frequency divergence?

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010
Background Patterns of spatial variation in discrete phenotypic traits can be used to draw inferences about the adaptive significance of traits and evolutionary processes, especially when compared to patterns of neutral genetic variation.

Do the same genes underlie parallel phenotypic divergence in different Littorina saxatilis populations? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Parallel patterns of adaptive divergence and speciation are cited as powerful evidence for the role of selection driving these processes. However, it is often not clear whether parallel phenotypic divergence is underlain by parallel genetic changes. Here,

Sickle Cell Disease Is an Inherent Risk for Asthma in a Sibling Comparison Study

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) and asthma share a complex relationship. Although estimates vary, asthma prevalence in children with SCD is believed to be comparable to or higher than the general population. Determining whether SCD confers an increased risk for asthma remains challenging due to overlapping symptoms and the ...
