The wild tomato species Solanum chilense shows variation in pathogen resistance between geographically distinct populations [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Wild tomatoes are a valuable source of disease resistance germplasm for tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) breeders. Many species are known to possess a certain degree of resistance against certain pathogens; however, evolution of resistance traits is yet ...

Spectrum of genetic diversity and networks of clonal organisms [PDF]
Journal of the Royal Society Interface, 4, 1093-1102 (2007), 2006 Clonal organisms present a particular challenge in population genetics because, in addition to the possible existence of replicates of the same genotype in a given sample, some of the hypotheses and concepts underlying classical population genetics models are irreconcilable with clonality.

Arlequin (version 3.0): An integrated software package for population genetics data analysis
Evolutionary bioinformatics online, 2005 Arlequin ver 3.0 is a software package integrating several basic and advanced methods for population genetics data analysis, like the computation of standard genetic diversity indices, the estimation of allele and haplotype frequencies, tests of ...

Genetic draft, selective interference, and population genetics of rapid adaptation [PDF]
Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics Vol. 44:
195-215, 2013, 2013 To learn about the past from a sample of genomic sequences, one needs to understand how evolutionary processes shape genetic diversity. Most population genetic inference is based on frameworks assuming adaptive evolution is rare. But if positive selection operates on many loci simultaneously, as has recently been suggested for many species including ...

pegas: an R package for population genetics with an integrated-modular approach
Bioinform., 2010 SUMMARY pegas (Population and Evolutionary Genetics Analysis System) is a new package for the analysis of population genetic data. It is written in R and is integrated with two other existing R packages (ape and adegenet).

The Pennsylvania grotto sculpin: population genetics [PDF]
Subterranean Biology, 2021 The Pennsylvania grotto sculpin is known from just two caves of the Nippenose Valley in central Pennsylvania, USA. They exhibit emergent troglobitic morphological traits and are the second northern-most cave adapted fish in the world.

From Understanding Genetic Drift to a Smart-Restart Parameter-less Compact Genetic Algorithm [PDF]
Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, GECCO 2020, pages
805-813. ACM. 2020, 2020 One of the key difficulties in using estimation-of-distribution algorithms is choosing the population size(s) appropriately: Too small values lead to genetic drift, which can cause enormous difficulties. In the regime with no genetic drift, however, often the runtime is roughly proportional to the population size, which renders large population sizes ...

8 The population genetics of the haemoglobinopathies
Baillière's Clinical Haematology, 1993 The haemoglobinopathies are the commonest single gene disorders known, and are so common in some regions of the world that the majority of the population carries at least one genetic abnormality affecting the structure or synthesis of the haemoglobin molecule. The prevalence of the common haemoglobinopathies (the alpha- and beta-thalassaemias, HbS, HbC

Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Effective conservation and management of pond‐breeding amphibians depends on the accurate estimation of population structure, demographic parameters, and the influence of landscape features on breeding‐site connectivity.

Spatial Population Genetics: It's About Time [PDF]
Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution and Systematics, 2019 Many important questions about the history and dynamics of organisms have a geographical component: How many are there, and where do they live? How do they move and interbreed across the landscape?
