The population genetics of evolutionary rescue. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Evolutionary rescue occurs when a population that is threatened with extinction by an environmental change adapts to the change sufficiently rapidly to survive. Here we extend the mathematical theory of evolutionary rescue.

Growth, competition and cooperation in spatial population genetics [PDF]
, 2012 We study an individual based model describing competition in space between two different alleles. Although the model is similar in spirit to classic models of spatial population genetics such as the stepping stone model, here however space is continuous ...

An intracellular transporter mitigates the CO2‐induced decline in iron content in Arabidopsis shoots
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study identifies a gene encoding a transmembrane protein, MIC, which contributes to the reduction of shoot Fe content observed in plants under elevated CO2. MIC is a putative Fe transporter localized to the Golgi and endosomal compartments. Its post‐translational regulation in roots may represent a potential target for improving plant nutrition ...

The evolutionary history of LysM-RLKs (LYKs/LYRs) in wild tomatoes
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019 Background The LysM receptor-like kinases (LysM-RLKs) are important to both plant defense and symbiosis. Previous studies described three clades of LysM-RLKs: LysM-I/LYKs (10+ exons per gene and containing conserved kinase residues), LysM-II/LYRs (1–5 ...

Population genetic characteristics of Hainan medaka with whole-genome resequencing
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 The DMY gene is deleted in all males of the Sanya population (SY-medaka) of the Hainan medaka, Oryzias curvinotus, as recently reported by us. However, due to limited knowledge regarding their population genetic background, it is difficult to explore the

Interplay between pleiotropy and secondary selection determines rise and fall of mutators in stress response [PDF]
, 2009 Dramatic rise of mutators has been found to accompany adaptation of bacteria in response to many kinds of stress. Two views on the evolutionary origin of this phenomenon emerged: the pleiotropic hypothesis positing that it is a byproduct of environmental

A Cre‐dependent lentiviral vector for neuron subtype‐specific expression of large proteins
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We designed a versatile and modular lentivector comprising a Cre‐dependent switch and self‐cleaving 2A peptide and tested it for co‐expression of GFP and a 2.8 kb gene of interest (GOI) in mouse cortical parvalbumin (PV+) interneurons and midbrain dopamine (TH+) neurons.

Genes Classical And Genes Developmental: The Different Uses Of The Gene In Evolutionary Synthesis [PDF]
, 2000 Dobzhansky (1964) stated that “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution,” and the function of the gene is no exception. The use of genes in population genetics and developmental genetics differs significantly.

The IQ‐compete assay for measuring mitochondrial protein import efficiencies in living yeast cells
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The efficiency of mitochondrial protein import depends on the properties of the newly synthesized precursor proteins. The Import and de‐Quenching Competition (IQ‐compete) assay is a novel method to monitor the import efficiency of different proteins by fluorescence in living yeast cells.
