Recent selective sweeps in North American Drosophila melanogaster show signatures of soft sweeps. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2015 Adaptation from standing genetic variation or recurrent de novo mutation in large populations should commonly generate soft rather than hard selective sweeps.

Genetics, 2019 AbstractFor almost 20 years, many inference methods have been developed to detect selective sweeps and localize the targets of directional selection in the genome. These methods are based on population genetic models that describe the effect of a beneficial allele (e.g., a new mutation) on linked neutral variation (driven by directional selection from ...

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2022 Control of tropical theileriosis, caused by the apicomplexan Theileria annulata, depends on the use of a single drug, buparvaquone, the efficacy of which is compromised by the emergence of resistance.

Genomic signatures of artificial selection in fecundity of Pacific white shrimp, Penaeus vannamei
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Penaeusvannamei is the most important economic shrimp in the world. Many selective breeding programs are carried out to improve its production and performance traits. Although significant differences in the reproductive ability of female P.

Versatile Detection of Diverse Selective Sweeps with Flex-Sweep
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2022 Abstract Understanding the impacts of selection pressures influencing modern-day genomic diversity is a major goal of evolutionary genomics. In particular, the contribution of selective sweeps to adaptation remains an open question, with persistent statistical limitations on the power and specificity of sweep detection methods. Sweeps

Genetic variants and signatures of selective sweep of Hanwoo population (Korean native cattle) [PDF]
BMB Reports, 2013 Although there have been many studies of native Koreancattle, Hanwoo, there have been no selective sweep studies inthese animals. This study was performed to characterizegenetic variation and identify selective signatures.

Network models of frequency modulated sweep detection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Frequency modulated (FM) sweeps are common in species-specific vocalizations, including human speech. Auditory neurons selective for the direction and rate of frequency change in FM sweeps are present across species, but the synaptic mechanisms ...

Insects, 2021 The codling moth, Cydia pomonella L. (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae), is a serious invasive pest of pome fruits. Currently, C. pomonella management mainly relies on the application of insecticides, which have driven the development of resistance in the insect.

Selective Sweeps Under Dominance and Inbreeding [PDF]
G3 Genes|Genomes|Genetics, 2018 Abstract A major research goal in evolutionary genetics is to uncover loci experiencing positive selection. One approach involves finding ‘selective sweeps’ patterns, which can either be ‘hard sweeps’ formed by de novo mutation, or ‘soft sweeps’ arising from recurrent mutation or existing standing variation.

Soft selective sweeps in evolutionary rescue [PDF]
Genetics, 2016 AbstractEvolutionary rescue occurs when a population that is declining in size because of an environmental change is rescued by genetic adaptation. Evolutionary rescue is an important phenomenon at the intersection of ecology and population genetics.
