Turning science on robust cattle into improved genetic selection decisions
More robust cattle have the potential to increase farm profitability, improve animal welfare, reduce the contribution of ruminant livestock to greenhouse gas emissions and decrease the risk of food shortages in the face of increased variability in the ...

Survival and divergence in a small group: The extraordinary genomic history of the endangered Apennine brown bear stragglers [PDF]
About 100 km east of Rome, in the central Apennine Mountains, a critically endangered population of ∼50 brown bears live in complete isolation. Mating outside this population is prevented by several 100 km of bear-free territories.

Simultaneous evolutionary expansion and constraint of genomic heterogeneity in multifocal lung cancer. [PDF]
Recent genomic analyses have revealed substantial tumor heterogeneity across various cancers. However, it remains unclear whether and how genomic heterogeneity is constrained during tumor evolution.

Genomic selection in maritime pine
A two-generation maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) breeding population (n=661) was genotyped using 2500 SNP markers. The extent of linkage disequilibrium and utility of genomic selection for growth and stem straightness improvement were investigated. The overall intra-chromosomal linkage disequilibrium was r(2)=0.01.

Positive selection on the human genome [PDF]
Positive selection has undoubtedly played a critical role in the evolution of Homo sapiens. Of the many phenotypic traits that define our species--notably the enormous brain, advanced cognitive abilities, complex vocal organs, bipedalism and opposable thumbs--most (if not all) are likely the product of strong positive selection.

Genomic selection on cacao for disease resistance : S04T08 [PDF]
Under favorable conditions, diseases can cause losses up to 100% in cacao. Breeding has been the most effective strategy in reducing these losses. However, breeding is limited by the: a) long generation time; b) large tree size (9 m2/tree); c) multiple ...

The asexual genome of Drosophila
The rate of recombination affects the mode of molecular evolution. In high-recombining sequence, the targets of selection are individual genetic loci; under low recombination, selection collectively acts on large, genetically linked genomic segments ...
