forqs: Forward-in-time Simulation of Recombination, Quantitative Traits, and Selection [PDF]

, 2013
forqs is a forward-in-time simulation of recombination, quantitative traits, and selection. It was designed to investigate haplotype patterns resulting from scenarios where substantial evolutionary change has taken place in a small number of generations ...

The Evolution of Locally Adaptive Chromosome Inversions in Mimulus guttatus

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chromosomal inversion polymorphisms are ubiquitous across the diversity of diploid organisms and play a significant role in the evolution of adaptations in those species. Inversions are thought to operate as supergenes by trapping adaptive alleles at multiple linked loci through the suppression of recombination. While there is now considerable

Fast Genome-Wide QTL Association Mapping on Pedigree and Population Data [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
Since most analysis software for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) currently exploit only unrelated individuals, there is a need for efficient applications that can handle general pedigree data or mixtures of both population and pedigree data. Even data sets thought to consist of only unrelated individuals may include cryptic relationships that ...

The Genomics Revolution in Nonmodel Species: Predictions vs. Reality for Salmonids

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing feasibility of whole‐genome sequencing has been highly anticipated, promising to transform our understanding of the biology of nonmodel species. Notably, dramatic cost reductions beginning around 2007 with the advent of high‐throughput sequencing inspired publications heralding the ‘genomics revolution’, with predictions about ...

Selection for Tameness in Red Junglefowl Recapitulates Genetic Loci Associated With Domestication‐Related Brain Composition

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Domestication involves huge phenotypic shifts via strong directional selection. The resulting changes, often termed the Domestication Syndrome, typically encompass numerous traits; however, the most universal of these are changes in reduced fear of humans (tameness) and brain composition.

A targeted QTL analysis for fiber length using a genetic population between two introgressed backcrossed inbred lines in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum)

Crop Journal, 2019
Cotton fiber is the most important natural raw material for the textile industry, and fiber length (FL) is one of the most important traits in cotton. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping based on high-density genetic maps is an efficient approach to ...

Independently evolved pollution resistance in four killifish populations is largely explained by few variants of large effect

Evolutionary Applications
The genetic architecture of phenotypic traits can affect the mode and tempo of trait evolution. Human‐altered environments can impose strong natural selection, where successful evolutionary adaptation requires swift and large phenotypic shifts.

The Genetics of Host Plant Acceptance in Pea Aphids

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The evolution of host‐associated sympatric populations in phytophagous insects (so called “host races”) connects adaptive divergence to barriers to gene flow. Pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) host races specialise on legume species, and because host plant choice leads to assortative mating, the genetic basis of host plant acceptance is key to ...

3D Genome Constrains Breakpoints of Inversions That Can Act as Barriers to Gene Flow in the Stickleback

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT DNA within the nucleus is organised into a well‐regulated three‐dimensional (3D) structure. However, how such 3D genome structures influence speciation processes remains largely elusive. Recent studies have shown that 3D genome structures influence mutation rates, including the occurrence of chromosomal rearrangement.
