Complex signatures of natural selection at GYPA [PDF]
Human Genetics, 2018 The human MN blood group antigens are isoforms of glycophorin A (GPA) encoded by the gene, GYPA, and are the most abundant erythrocyte sialoglycoproteins. The distribution of MN antigens has been widely studied in human populations yet the evolutionary and/or demographic factors affecting population variation remain elusive.

Diversity, genetic mapping, and signatures of domestication in the carrot (Daucus carota L.) genome, as revealed by Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) markers [PDF]
, 2013 Carrot is one of the most economically important vegetables worldwide, but genetic and genomic resources supporting carrot breeding remain limited. We developed a Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) platform for wild and cultivated carrot and used it to ...

Bidirectional Selection for Body Weight on Standing Genetic Variation in a Chicken Model
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019 Experimental populations of model organisms provide valuable opportunities to unravel the genomic impact of selection in a controlled system. The Virginia body weight chicken lines represent a unique resource to investigate signatures of selection in a ...

Evidence of widespread selection on standing variation in Europe at height-associated SNPs. [PDF]
, 2012 Strong signatures of positive selection at newly arising genetic variants are well documented in humans(1-8), but this form of selection may not be widespread in recent human evolution(9).

Stable isotope ratios indicate that body condition in migrating passerines is influenced by winter habitat [PDF]
, 2004 Although predicted some time ago, there has been little success in demonstrating that the overall fitness of migratory birds depends on the combined influences of their experiences over all seasons.

An insight into the runs of homozygosity distribution and breed differentiation in Mangalitsa pigs
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Mangalitsa pigs exhibit three distinct coat color patterns based on which they are described as Red, Blond, and Swallow-bellied. The current study investigated genome-wide diversity and selection signatures in the three breeds using fixation index, runs ...
