Epigenetic variation associated with responses to different habitats in the context of genetic divergence in Phragmites australis

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The mechanisms underlying heritable phenotypic divergence associated with adaptation in response to environmental stresses may involve both genetic and epigenetic variations.

From genetic variation to precision medicine

Cambridge Prisms: Precision Medicine, 2023
Genetics has been an important tool for discovering new aspects of biology across life. In humans, there is growing momentum behind the application of this knowledge to drive innovation in clinical care, most notably through developments in precision ...

Are current ecological restoration practices capturing natural levels of genetic diversity? A New Zealand case study using AFLP and ISSR data from mahoe (Melicytus ramiflorus) [PDF]

, 2015
Sourcing plant species of local provenance (eco-sourcing) has become standard practice in plant community restoration projects. Along with established ecological restoration practices, knowledge of genetic variation in existing and restored forest ...

Genetic diversity and population structure of Thymallus sp. in China based on morphological and molecular markers

Global Ecology and Conservation
Thymallus sp. is a native fish species distributed in the Irtysh River Basin in China. Unfortunately, environmental damage and overfishing have led to a significant decline in Arctic grayling resources, pushing them towards endangerment.

Estimated six per cent loss of genetic variation in wild populations since the industrial revolution

Evolutionary Applications, 2019
Genetic variation is fundamental to population fitness and adaptation to environmental change. Human activities are driving declines in many wild populations and could have similar effects on genetic variation.

Bose-Einstein distribution, condensation transition and multiple stationary states in multiloci evolution of diploid population

, 2010
The mapping between genotype and phenotype is encoded in the complex web of epistatic interaction between genetic loci. In this rugged fitness landscape, recombination processes, which tend to increase variation in the population, compete with selection ...

Genetic Variation in the Response to Vaccination

Public Health Genomics, 2007
Vaccines are the most powerful means to prevent and diminish the burden of infectious disease. However, there are limitations to their use: vaccines are not yet available for all infectious diseases (including human immunodeficiency virus and respiratory syncytial virus), they sometimes lack efficacy, the response to vaccination is limited by maternal ...

Semantic variation operators for multidimensional genetic programming

, 2019
Multidimensional genetic programming represents candidate solutions as sets of programs, and thereby provides an interesting framework for exploiting building block identification. Towards this goal, we investigate the use of machine learning as a way to
