Eukaryotic phytoplankton exhibit an enormous species richness, displaying a range of phylogenetic, morphological and physiological diversity. Yet, until recently, very little was known about the diversity, genetic variation and evolutionary processes ...

The Diversity Paradox: How Nature Resolves an Evolutionary Dilemma [PDF]
Adaptation to changing environments is a hallmark of biological systems. Diversity in traits is necessary for adaptation and can influence the survival of a population faced with novelty. In habitats that remain stable over many generations, stabilizing selection reduces trait differences within populations, thereby appearing to remove the diversity ...

Genetic diversity and disease susceptibility
The range of genetic diversity within human populations is enormous. Genetic susceptibility to common chronic disease is a significant part of this genetic diversity, which also includes a variety of rare, clear–cut, inherited diseases. Modern DNA–based genomic analysis can now routinely lead to the identification of genes involved in disease ...

k-mer-based approaches to bridging pangenomics and population genetics [PDF]
Many commonly studied species now have more than one chromosome-scale genome assembly, revealing a large amount of genetic diversity previously missed by approaches that map short reads to a single reference. However, many species still lack multiple reference genomes and correctly aligning references to build pangenomes is challenging, limiting our ...
