Genotyping-by-sequencing of Brassica oleracea vegetables reveals unique phylogenetic patterns, population structure and domestication footprints

Horticulture Research, 2018
Which came first: the broccoli or the cauliflower? A comparison of gene variations in modern-day offspring of wild cabbage shows that broccoli may have preceded the appearance of cauliflower in domesticated crops.

The use of genomic coancestry matrices in the optimisation of contributions to maintain genetic diversity at specific regions of the genome [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Optimal contribution methods have proved to be very efficient for controlling the rates at which coancestry and inbreeding increase and therefore, for maintaining genetic diversity.

Identification of superior parental lines for biparental crossing via genomic prediction.

PLoS ONE, 2020
A parental selection approach based on genomic prediction has been developed to help plant breeders identify a set of superior parental lines from a candidate population before conducting field trials.

Evolutionary relationships among bifidobacteria and their hosts and environments. [PDF]

, 2020
BACKGROUND:The assembly of animal microbiomes is influenced by multiple environmental factors and host genetics, although the relative importance of these factors remains unclear.

Genome diversity of the potato [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018
In a recent issue of PNAS, Hardigan et al. (1) state that the genetic diversity of the potato is much greater than that of other major crops, based on 68.9 million SNPs identified from the resequencing of 67 accessions of wild and cultivated potatoes. We questioned this conclusion based on our own original analysis of wild and cultivated potato species

Genome diversity ofLeishmania aethiopica

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
ABSTRACTLeishmania aethiopicais a zoonotic Old World parasite transmitted by Phlebotomine sand flies and causing cutaneous leishmaniasis in Ethiopia and Kenya. Despite a range of clinical manifestations and a high prevalence of treatment failure,L. aethiopicais the most neglected species of theLeishmaniagenus in terms of scientific attention.

Genomic signatures of population decline in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae [PDF]

, 2016
Population genomic features such as nucleotide diversity and linkage disequilibrium are expected to be strongly shaped by changes in population size, and might therefore be useful for monitoring the success of a control campaign.

Genomic Diversity and Hotspot Mutations in 30,983 SARS-CoV-2 Genomes: Moving Toward a Universal Vaccine for the “Confined Virus”?

Pathogens, 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has been ongoing since its onset in late November 2019 in Wuhan, China. Understanding and monitoring the genetic evolution of the virus, its geographical characteristics, and its stability are particularly important for controlling ...
