Genetic evolution of a multi-generational population in the context of interstellar space travels -- Part I: Genetic evolution under the neutral selection hypothesis [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We updated the agent based Monte Carlo code HERITAGE that simulates human evolution within restrictive environments such as interstellar, sub-light speed spacecraft in order to include the effects of population genetics. We incorporated a simplified -- yet representative -- model of the whole human genome with 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), containing 2110

Genetic diversity and kelp forest vulnerability to climatic stress
Scientific Reports, 2018 Genetic diversity confers adaptive capacity to populations under changing conditions but its role in mediating impacts of climate change remains unresolved for most ecosystems.

Genetic diversity in fishes is influenced by habitat type and life‐history variation
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Populations of fishes are increasingly threatened by over‐exploitation, pollution, habitat destruction, and climate change. In order to better understand the factors that can explain the amount of genetic diversity in wild populations of fishes, we ...

Genetic diversity and genetic burden in humans
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2006 We discuss categories of genetic diversity in humans. Neutral diversity, population differences in frequencies of genetic markers that we think are invisible to natural selection, provides a passive record of population history but is otherwise of little interest in human biology.

Genetic Diversity on the Sex Chromosomes
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 ...

Human capital and genetic diversity [PDF]
Eurasian Economic Review, 2018 This paper investigates the relationship between human capital and the ancestral genetic diversity of populations. A simple model highlights a new channel through which genetic diversity can affect development: human capital. Additionally, empirical evidence of an unconditional hump-shaped relationship between genetic diversity and human capital is ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2019 The microbiome associated with ornamental plants has largely been neglected, despite its potential for impacting plant health. This work characterized the composition, diversity, and microbial co‐associations in the soil microbiome associated with ...
