Epistatic regulation of growth in Atlantic salmon revealed: a QTL study performed on the domesticated-wild interface

BMC Genetics, 2020
Background Quantitative traits are typically considered to be under additive genetic control. Although there are indications that non-additive factors have the potential to contribute to trait variation, experimental demonstration remains scarce.

Population genetics in compressible flows

, 2011
We study competition between two biological species advected by a compressible velocity field. Individuals are treated as discrete Lagrangian particles that reproduce or die in a density-dependent fashion.

Ancestral population genomics [PDF]

, 2012
The full genomes of several closely related species are now available, opening an emerging field of investigation borrowing both from population genetics and phylogenetics.

Population genetics of translational robustness

, 2006
Recent work has shown that expression level is the main predictor of a gene’s evolutionary rate, and that more highly expressed genes evolve slower.

Molecular Population Genetics

Genetics, 2018
In the article by S. Casillas and A. Barbadilla (GENETICS 205: 1003–1035) entitled “Molecular Population Genetics,” on page 1010, the references provided in Table 1 were incomplete. For the measure/test vA, the reference to “Castellano et al.

Population-Matched Transcriptome Prediction Increases TWAS Discovery and Replication Rate

iScience, 2020
Summary: Most genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) focus on European populations; however, these results cannot always be accurately applied to non-European populations due to genetic architecture ...

Population genetics and GWAS: A primer. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2018
This primer provides some background to help non-specialists understand a new theoretical evolutionary genetics study that helps explain why thousands of variants of small effect contribute to complex traits.

Population genetics models of local ancestry

, 2012
Migrations have played an important role in shaping the genetic diversity of human populations. Understanding genomic data thus requires careful modeling of historical gene flow.

Little evidence of inbreeding depression for birth mass, survival and growth in Antarctic fur seal pups

Scientific Reports
Inbreeding depression, the loss of offspring fitness due to consanguineous mating, is generally detrimental for individual performance and population viability.

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.
