The strong selective sweep candidate gene ADRA2C does not explain domestication related changes in the stress response of chickens. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Analysis of selective sweeps to pinpoint causative genomic regions involved in chicken domestication has revealed a strong selective sweep on chromosome 4 in layer chickens.

Adiabatic Quantum State Manipulation of Single Trapped Atoms [PDF]
, 2005 We use microwave induced adiabatic passages for selective spin flips within a string of optically trapped individual neutral Cs atoms. We position-dependently shift the atomic transition frequency with a magnetic field gradient.

The effect of recurrent mutations on genetic diversity in a large population of varying size [PDF]
, 2016 Recurrent mutations are a common phenomenon in population genetics. They may be at the origin of the fixation of a new genotype, if they give a phenotypic advantage to the carriers of the new mutation.

Gene connectivity and enzyme evolution in the human metabolic network
Biology Direct, 2019 Background Determining the factors involved in the likelihood of a gene being under adaptive selection is still a challenging goal in Evolutionary Biology. Here, we perform an evolutionary analysis of the human metabolic genes to explore the associations

Visual selective behavior can be triggered by a feed-forward process [PDF]
, 2003 The ventral visual pathway implements object recognition and categorization in a hierarchy of processing areas with neuronal selectivities of increasing complexity. The presence of massive feedback connections within this hierarchy raises the possibility

approaches to discover the functional impact of non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms in selective sweep regions of the Landrace genome [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2018 Objective The aim of this study was to discover the functional impact of non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) that were found in selective sweep regions of the Landrace genome Methods Whole-genome re-sequencing data were obtained from ...

Genetic draft, selective interference, and population genetics of rapid adaptation [PDF]
, 2013 To learn about the past from a sample of genomic sequences, one needs to understand how evolutionary processes shape genetic diversity. Most population genetic inference is based on frameworks assuming adaptive evolution is rare.
