Selection Signatures in Worldwide Sheep Populations [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Abstract 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.

A Meta-Assembly of Selection Signatures in Cattle

PLOS ONE, 2016
Since domestication, significant genetic improvement has been achieved for many traits of commercial importance in cattle, including adaptation, appearance and production. In response to such intense selection pressures, the bovine genome has undergone changes at the underlying regions of functional genetic variants, which are termed "selection ...

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 composition, early maturity, growth rate, body size, reproduction, and behaviour.

Selection signatures in Canchim beef cattle [PDF]

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2016
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 regions of the genome due to selection, known as selection signatures (SS).

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. The recurrent use of a limited number of sires and increased selection pressure may affect genetic diversity, potentially affecting long-term breeding programs.

Identification of selection signatures in livestock species [PDF]

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2014
The identification of regions that have undergone selection is one of the principal goals of theoretical and applied evolutionary genetics. Such studies can also provide information about the evolutionary processes involved in shaping genomes, as well as physical and functional information about genes/genomic regions.

Robust selection of cancer survival signatures from high-throughput genomic data using two-fold subsampling.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Identifying relevant signatures for clinical patient outcome is a fundamental task in high-throughput studies. Signatures, composed of features such as mRNAs, miRNAs, SNPs or other molecular variables, are often non-overlapping, even though they have ...

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,
