Genetic structure of chimpanzee populations

PLoS Genetics, 2005
Little is known about the history and population structure of our closest living relatives, the chimpanzees, in part because of an extremely poor fossil record. To address this, we report the largest genetic study of the chimpanzees to date, examining 310 microsatellites in 84 common chimpanzees and bonobos. We infer three common chimpanzee populations,

Environmental factors influence both abundance and genetic diversity in a widespread bird species. [PDF]

, 2013
Genetic diversity is one of the key evolutionary variables that correlate with population size, being of critical importance for population viability and the persistence of species. Genetic diversity can also have important ecological consequences within

Population Structure and Cryptic Relatedness in Genetic Association Studies [PDF]

, 2009
We review the problem of confounding in genetic association studies, which arises principally because of population structure and cryptic relatedness. Many treatments of the problem consider only a simple ``island'' model of population structure. We take

Genetic diversity and structure analysis of Croatian garlic collection assessed by SSR markers

Folia Horticulturae, 2021
This study examines genetic diversity and structure of a Croatian garlic germplasm collection using 13 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. A total of 71 alleles were observed across 64 accessions representing 3 Croatian regions (Istria, Dalmatia and ...

Genetic diversity assessment of the indigenous goat population of Benin using microsatellite markers

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Improved knowledge of the diversity within and among local animal populations is increasingly necessary for their sustainable management. Accordingly, this study assessed the genetic diversity and structure of the indigenous goat population of Benin ...

The Phenotypic and the Genetic Response to the Extreme High Temperature Provides New Insight Into Thermal Tolerance for the Pacific Oyster Crassostrea gigas

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Investigating responses of organisms to stressful or new environments with selection pressure is one of the crucial problems in evolutionary biology, and it is of importance to understand the phenotypic and molecular mechanism underlying thermal ...

By Animal, Water, or Wind: Can Dispersal Mode Predict Genetic Connectivity in Riverine Plant Species?

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Seed dispersal is crucial to gene flow among plant populations. Although the effects of geographic distance and barriers to gene flow are well studied in many systems, it is unclear how seed dispersal mediates gene flow in conjunction with interacting ...

The Genetic Structure and History of Africans and African Americans. [PDF]

, 2009
Africa is the source of all modern humans, but characterization of genetic variation and of relationships among populations across the continent has been enigmatic. We studied 121 African populations, four African American populations, and 60 non-African

Notch signaling: genetics and structure [PDF]

WormBook, 2013
Receptors of the Notch family mediate cell-cell interactions during animal development, and aberrations in Notch signaling have been implicated in human disease. Studies in Caenorhabdits elegans have made essential contributions towards understanding the biological roles and molecular mechanism of this fundamental signaling system.
