Genomic selection signatures in farmed Colossoma macropomum from tropical and subtropical regions in South America

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2022
Tambaqui or cachama (Colossoma macropomum) is one of the most important neotropical freshwater fish used for aquaculture in South America, and its production is concentrated at low latitudes (close to the Equator, 0°), where the water temperature is warm.

Candidate genes for domestication and resistance to cold climate according to whole genome sequencing data of Russian cattle and sheep breeds

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2023
It is known that different species of animals, when living in the same environmental conditions, can form similar phenotypes. The study of the convergent evolution of several species under the influence of the same environmental factor makes it possible ...

The genetic mechanisms underlying the convergent evolution of pollination syndromes in the Neotropical radiation of Costus L.

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Selection together with variation in floral traits can act to mold floral form, often driven by a plant’s predominant or most effective pollinators. To investigate the evolution of traits associated with pollination, we developed a phylogenetic framework

Identification of Signatures of Selection by Whole-Genome Resequencing of a Chinese Native Pig

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2020
Identification of genomic signatures of selection that help reveal genetic mechanisms underlying traits in domesticated pigs is of importance. Anqing six-end-white pig (ASP), a representative of the native breeds in China, has many distinguishing ...

Whole-genome scan of population differentiation in Zel and Lori-Bakhtiari sheep breeds [PDF]

open access: yesمجله بیوتکنولوژی کشاورزی, 2010
Selection for increasing of frequency in new mutations that are advantageous only in a subset of populations leaves some signatures in the genome. Detecting these genomic regions is one of the most important areas of research in animal genetics since ...

Analysis of selection signatures in the beef cattle genome

open access: yesCzech Journal of Animal Science, 2019
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of selection on the genome structure of beef cattle through identification of selection signatures reflecting the breeding standard of each breed and to discover potential functional genetic variants to improve ...

Genetic architecture and selection of Anhui autochthonous pig population revealed by whole genome resequencing

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
The genetic resources among pigs in Anhui Province are diverse, but their value and potential have yet to be discovered. To illustrate the genetic diversity and population structure of the Anhui pigs population, we resequenced the genome of 150 pigs from

The impact of geography and climate on the population structure and local adaptation in a wild bee

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2023
Deciphering processes that contribute to genetic differentiation and divergent selection of natural populations is useful for evaluating the adaptive potential and resilience of organisms faced with various anthropogenic stressors.

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

open access: yesAdvanced 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.
