Determinants of genetic diversity [PDF]

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2016
Genetic polymorphism varies among species and within genomes, and has important implications for the evolution and conservation of species. The determinants of this variation have been poorly understood, but population genomic data from a wide range of organisms now make it possible to delineate the underlying evolutionary processes, notably how ...

The determinants of genetic diversity in butterflies [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2019
Under the neutral theory, genetic diversity is expected to increase with population size. While comparative analyses have consistently failed to find strong relationships between census population size and genetic diversity, a recent study across animals

Genetic Diversity on the Sex Chromosomes [PDF]

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2018
Levels and patterns of genetic diversity can provide insights into a population’s history. In species with sex chromosomes, differences between genomic regions with unique inheritance patterns can be used to distinguish between different sets of possible

Genetic diversity and pathogenicity of Blastocystis.

Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2018
Blastocystis is a unicellular, anaerobic protist which lives in the intestinal tract of diverse animals, including humans. It was found that the host specificity and the pathogenic potential of different isolates are correlated with sequence variations ...

Genetic Diversity, Conservation, and Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources

Genes, 2023
Plant genetic resources (PGRs) are the total hereditary material, which includes all the alleles of various genes, present in a crop species and its wild relatives. They are a major resource that humans depend on to increase farming resilience and profit.

Genetic diversity and IUCN Red List status

Conservation Biology, 2023
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List is an important and widely used tool for conservation assessment. The IUCN uses information about a species’ range, population size, habitat quality and fragmentation levels, and trends ...

Genetic diversity fuels gene discovery for tobacco and alcohol use

Nature, 2022
Tobacco and alcohol use are heritable behaviours associated with 15% and 5.3% of worldwide deaths, respectively, due largely to broad increased risk for disease and injury1–4.

The inflated significance of neutral genetic diversity in conservation genetics [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
The current rate of species extinction is rapidly approaching unprecedented highs, and life on Earth presently faces a sixth mass extinction event driven by anthropogenic activity, climate change, and ecological collapse.

Life history, climate and biogeography interactively affect worldwide genetic diversity of plant and animal populations

Nature Communications, 2021
Understanding how biological and environmental factors interactively shape the global distribution of plant and animal genetic diversity is fundamental to biodiversity conservation. Genetic diversity measured in local populations (GDP) is correspondingly
