Selection signatures in worldwide sheep populations. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The diversity of populations in domestic species offers great opportunities to study genome response to selection. The recently published Sheep HapMap dataset is a great example of characterization of the world wide genetic diversity in sheep.

Unravelling selection signatures in a single dog breed suggests recent selection for morphological and behavioral traits [PDF]

Advanced Genetics, 2020
Strong selection has resulted in substantial morphological and behavioral diversity across modern dog breeds, which makes dogs interesting model animals to study the underlying genetic architecture of these traits.

Selection signatures in Shetland ponies. [PDF]

Animal Genetics, 2016
Shetland ponies were selected for numerous traits including small stature, strength, hardiness and longevity. Despite the different selection criteria, Shetland ponies are well known for their small stature.

Cross-population selection signatures in Canchim composite beef cattle. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2022
Analyses of livestock genomes have been used to detect selection signatures, which are genomic regions associated with traits under selection leading to a change in allele frequency.

A Meta-Assembly of Selection Signatures in Cattle. [PDF]

PLOS ONE, 2016
Since domestication, significant genetic improvement has been achieved for many traits of commercial importance in cattle, including adaptation, appearance and production.

Selection signatures in Gir and Holstein cattle. [PDF]

Journal of Dairy Science
Natural and artificial selection leave footprints on the genome, known as selection signatures, that can indicate regions related to adaptive and economically important traits.

Signatures of diversifying selection in European pig breeds [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2013
Following domestication, livestock breeds have experienced intense selection pressures for the development of desirable traits. This has resulted in a large diversity of breeds that display variation in many phenotypic traits, such as coat colour, muscle

Selection signatures in Canchim beef cattle. [PDF]

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2017
Background: Recent technological advances in genomics have allowed the genotyping of cattle through single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panels. High-density SNP panels possess greater genome coverage and are useful for the identification of conserved ...

Signatures of selection in recently domesticated macadamia [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2022
AbstractMacadamia is a high value nut crop that is recently domesticated, ideal for testing the effect of artificial selection. Here, we sequence the genome of Hawaiian cultivar ‘Kau’ and assemble into 794 Mb in 14 pseudo-chromosomes with 37,728 genes. Genome analysis reveals a whole-genome duplication event, occurred 46.8 million years ago.

Detecting signatures of selection on gene expression [PDF]

Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2022
A substantial amount of phenotypic diversity results from changes in gene expression levels and patterns. Understanding how the transcriptome evolves is therefore a key priority in identifying mechanisms of adaptive change. However, in contrast to powerful models of sequence evolution, we lack a consensus model of gene expression evolution. Furthermore,
