Coalescence, genetic diversity in sexual populations under selection [PDF]

open access: yesProc Natl Acad Sci U S A. Sep 24, 2013; 110: 15836--15841, 2013
In sexual populations, selection operates neither on the whole genome, which is repeatedly taken apart and reassembled by recombination, nor on individual alleles that are tightly linked to the chromosomal neighborhood. The resulting interference between linked alleles reduces the efficiency of selection and distorts patterns of genetic diversity ...

Genetic linkage and natural selection [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010
The prevalence of recombination in eukaryotes poses one of the most puzzling questions in biology. The most compelling general explanation is that recombination facilitates selection by breaking down the negative associations generated by random drift (i.e. Hill–Robertson interference, HRI). I classify the effects of HRI owing to: deleterious mutation,

The effect of linkage on establishment and survival of locally beneficial mutations [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics 197, 317-336 (2014), 2013
When organisms adapt to spatially heterogeneous environments, selection may drive divergence at multiple genes. If populations under divergent selection also exchange migrants, we expect genetic differentiation to be high at selected loci, relative to the baseline caused by migration and genetic drift.

Annotated genetic linkage maps of Pinus pinaster Ait. from a Central Spain population using microsatellite and gene based markers

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2012
Background Pinus pinaster Ait. is a major resin producing species in Spain. Genetic linkage mapping can facilitate marker-assisted selection (MAS) through the identification of Quantitative Trait Loci and selection of allelic variants of interest in ...

A new genome scan for primary nonsyndromic vesicoureteric reflux emphasizes high genetic heterogeneity and shows linkage and association with various genes already implicated in urinary tract development

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2014
Primary vesicoureteric reflux (VUR), the retrograde flow of urine from the bladder toward the kidneys, results from a developmental anomaly of the vesicoureteric valve mechanism, and is often associated with other urinary tract anomalies.

MapChart: software for the graphical presentation of linkage maps and QTLs.

open access: yesJournal of Heredity, 2002
Over the last 15 years a wealth of linkage maps and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping results have become available. The pace of generating this genetic information is accelerating owing to advances in molecular marker technology and the development ...
