Population genomics from pool sequencing
Molecular Ecology, 2013 AbstractNext generation sequencing of pooled samples is an effective approach for studies of variability and differentiation in populations. In this paper we provide a comprehensive set of estimators of the most common statistics in population genetics based on the frequency spectrum, namely the Watterson estimator , nucleotide pairwise diversity Π ...

Insights from Population Genomics to Enhance and Sustain Biological Control of Insect Pests
Insects, 2020 Biological control—the use of organisms (e.g., nematodes, arthropods, bacteria, fungi, viruses) for the suppression of insect pest species—is a well-established, ecologically sound and economically profitable tactic for crop protection. This approach has

Differential Functional Constraints Cause Strain-Level Endemism in Polynucleobacter Populations. [PDF]
, 2016 The adaptation of bacterial lineages to local environmental conditions creates the potential for broader genotypic diversity within a species, which can enable a species to dominate across ecological gradients because of niche flexibility.

Population Genomics of Saccharomyces Yeasts
, 2009 This thesis examines genome-wide polymorphisms amongst 20 strains of Saccharomyces paradoxus, a yeast strain which has recently emerged as a model organism for population genetic studies. Three major studies are included in this thesis. The first study

Highly Variable Genomic Landscape of Endogenous Retroviruses in the C57BL/6J Inbred Strain, Depending on Individual Mouse, Gender, Organ Type, and Organ Location. [PDF]
, 2017 Transposable repetitive elements, named the "TREome," represent ~40% of the mouse genome. We postulate that the germ line genome undergoes temporal and spatial diversification into somatic genomes in conjunction with the TREome activity.

Genomic selection in livestock populations
Genetics Research, 2010 SummaryMost traits of economic importance in livestock are either quantitative or complex. Despite considerable efforts, there has been only limited success in identifying the polymorphisms that cause variation in these traits. Nevertheless, selection based on estimated breeding values (BVs), calculated from data on phenotypic performance and pedigree ...

Population genomics of intrapatient HIV-1 evolution
eLife, 2015 Many microbial populations rapidly adapt to changing environments with multiple variants competing for survival. To quantify such complex evolutionary dynamics in vivo, time resolved and genome wide data including rare variants are essential.

A gene-derived SNP-based high resolution linkage map of carrot including the location of QTL conditioning root and leaf anthocyanin pigmentation [PDF]
, 2014 Purple carrots accumulate large quantities of anthocyanins in their roots and leaves. These flavonoid pigments possess antioxidant activity and are implicated in providing health benefits.
