Reduction of a metapopulation genetic model to an effective one island model [PDF]

, 2018
We explore a model of metapopulation genetics which is based on a more ecologically motivated approach than is frequently used in population genetics. The size of the population is regulated by competition between individuals, rather than by artificially

Mantel test in population genetics

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2013
The comparison of genetic divergence or genetic distances, estimated by pairwise F ST and related statistics, with geographical distances by Mantel test is one of the most popular approaches to evaluate spatial processes driving population structure ...

Inherited basis of visceral, abdominal subcutaneous and gluteofemoral fat depots

Nature Communications, 2022
The inherited basis of body fat distribution is not fully understood. Here, the authors use genetic data and MRI-derived measures of local adiposity to highlight fat depot-specific genetic architecture with implications for cardiometabolic health.

Genetic draft, selective interference, and population genetics of rapid adaptation [PDF]

, 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.

Population Genetics and Pharmacogenetics [PDF]

, 2005
The highlight for 2005/6 in population genetics was undoubtedly the publication of HapMap, a freely available public resource nearly of all common (>5% minor allele frequency) genetic differences in humans. Compared to the estimated 10 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) that we all share, at the launch of HapMap in 2002 there were fewer than

Beyond Biodiversity: Can Environmental DNA (eDNA) Cut It as a Population Genetics Tool?

Genes, 2019
Population genetic data underpin many studies of behavioral, ecological, and evolutionary processes in wild populations and contribute to effective conservation management.

Population genetics of forest trees.

Silva Fennica, 1982
The publication comprises proceedings of a conference held in Helsinki in 1981. Forest tree populations are investigated for population genetic structure, mating systems, mechanisms of genetic adaptation and ecological adaptation.

Transposon-induced epigenetic silencing in the X chromosome as a novel form of dmrt1 expression regulation during sex determination in the fighting fish

BMC Biology, 2022
Background Fishes are the one of the most diverse groups of animals with respect to their modes of sex determination, providing unique models for uncovering the evolutionary and molecular mechanisms underlying sex determination and reversal.

Dualities in population genetics: a fresh look with new dualities [PDF]

, 2014
We apply our general method of duality, introduced in [Giardina', Kurchan, Redig, J. Math. Phys. 48, 033301 (2007)], to models of population dynamics.

Using neutral cline decay to estimate contemporary dispersal: a generic tool and its application to a major crop pathogen [PDF]

, 2013
Dispersal is a key parameter of adaptation, invasion and persistence. Yet standard population genetics inference methods hardly distinguish it from drift and many species cannot be studied by direct mark-recapture methods.
